MPs are to blame if the law is an ass

Mike Smithson writes:

An MP's primary job is to scrutinise legislation.

Remember that, whenever a fuckwit local authority jobsworth crosses the line between public service and an assault on your liberty, privacy or property.

Remember where the blame really lies.

The following is from a letter in one of our local papers:

Most MPs now think it normal that they are scorned and sidelined in Parliament so it’s no wonder they spend so much time scuttling about their constituencies like half-baked social workers, gathering up great ‘case-loads’ with which to try and justify their pay and privileges instead of putting their energies into what Members of Parliament should do: speaking for their electors, holding the government to account, defending their constituents’ rights by defying the over-mighty on their behalf… all that ‘Parliamentary democracy’ stuff. In Parliament.
