this metal theft affects us all, rail users, home consumers, bronze plaques on memorials, any legitimate scrap seller should praise any effort to stop this plague of thefts, and any legitimate scrap dealer would welcome the no cash system. Could it be that the present system supports the evasion of duty.
I watched it on the Parliament Channel. He presented his 10 Minute bill straight after 'Questions to the Attorney General’ at 1pm. The cameras caught a few other Labour back benchers shuffling in to 'bunch' alongside him, so as to make the chamber look busy. That only succeeded in making him look pretty silly. Reading from a prepared script (no surprise, as there was some detailed numerical stuff), he started off nervous and made a few errors but after that he was OK. So 7/10 for presentation.
When it came to the vote on the Bill, with about 50 in the chamber, there were no 'No's, so it goes on to the next stage when it pops up again in the house on the 20/January.
I can't forgive him for his referendum about face, but at least he might do something useful now amongst the dying embers of democracy.
Lets face it, any amendment they make in parliament will probably be a law to replace all metal with plastic rather than take action against the scum that steal it.
lets face it any law passed by government will only effect law abiding people and the criminals will find a way around the new laws if any.Not to worry though government will get teh extra tax from the honest people.
Crime goes up when times are hard and labor made times hard sure enough but camerons making them harder so expect it to get worse before better

No one shuffled near me. There was some interest, slightly more the usual.
As a working class person who resides up Plantation Street I to find hard to swallow that you would kick ordinary struggling Accy families in the teeth when it is a fact that 95% of people don't give a toss about Europe but do care about jobs and the economy. As a WC person I'll say what I think, you are letting us down.

Well done yesterday Graham, with highlighting, and adressing this issue.
But whilst you're currently online, and reading this thread, could you please find time to answer this question please?

Why did you vote against giving us the chance to have a say, as to whether or not we are in favour of self-determination?
We're confused, as two weeks previously, in public, on this very forum, you said you had no problem with an E.U. referendum, stating that it would 'settle this issue democratically'.
Why did you say that, then vote that we should be denied that democratic right two weeks later?

I think that this patronising, pathetically faux humble, totally out of touch with what ordinary people really think, as opposed to your sycophantic party bro-chums, was actually your Gillian Duffy moment.
I did feel a little sorry for you, and thought you a bit naive, and it all being a bit of a struggle for you.
I was wrong.
Arrogance isn't naivety.
Good luck.
