House of Lords debates – Tuesday, 5 February 2008 – Parliament Square: Demonstrations
Lord West of Spithead clearly has an open mind about Haw’s display [rolls eyes] and regards himself to be a peacemaker because he once stopped his driver from laying into a protestor.
In other news, my submission is one of a whopping 500+ from concerned citizens.
I love you, Great British Public, I really do. (And next week, I’ve giving you all a special present to show you just how much I love you.)

In other good news, Lord West does appear to have ruled out the "harmonisation" of powers which the consultation was angling for. It could be that they've already worked out from the responses that it was a non-starter.
