[News] Boris's Latest Distraction Wheeze : A Bridge across the Channel ?

[ferring seagull]

Hypothectically
Perhaps, if it ever came to fruition , BJ would be invited to open the bridge, mid channel, in a force 8 gale !

That is an excellent idea but why only for 2 years? What's the thinking behind that? Personally, I'd go for a new 2nd chamber with every new government.

Because if they stayed too long, they'd be subject to pressures from lobbyists and would lose an independent sheen. And I wouldn't have them coming in with a new government for the same reason, a second chamber wouldn't be too associated with one party,

People also have lives to get back to.

There would of course be adequate compensation for people who were in the chamber - their existing salary + expenses and childcare

BREAKING NEWS——-

Boris has binned the bridge idea, next Government project will be a ladder to the moon.

Laughed so hard (you can guess the rest....)

If we had a bit more diversity of life experiences in the HoC then I don't think we'd have had cuts on disability benefits for a start.

You'd like to think that a nurse who became an MP, would vote against cutting disability benefits, but no, she toed the party line.

Look like they are going to do a feasibility study, let waste some more tax payers money on a daft project idea

Think a smart customs system would be a better idea. You can't polish a turd!!
