42 days vote today / video
Amnesty International have today released a new 1 min video on the theme of ‘sleepwalking’ into losing our civil liberties.
The vote on 42 days is in the House of Lords today. It is expected to be defeated. The question then is, will Brown try and use the Parliament Act to force it through, or give up on this stupid piece of legislation?
