Ouch!

Have just been watching the debate on the Human Embryology Bill which is now discussing abortion.

Putting aside that Dawn Primarolo has been refusing to give way to a number of MPs that disagreed with her which she has now U-turned on after a mild rebuke from the chair.

What rather impressed me most was the Tory frontbencher Mike Penning for giving the House a tale about when he had his vasectomy. He explained how he had to see a number of doctors before he finally had "the snip" which he stressed could be reversed, albeit a "very painful" procedure.

I was going to do a post that "took the piss" out of him as it were, but then someone I know pointed out that perhaps that is not actually how vasectomy works!

Dawn Primarolo gave way to Anne Widdecombe, to let her raise a point some minutes before Widdecombe went on to raise a spurious point of order. I didn't know Anne Widdecombe had changed her mind and now favours abortion rights.

My original draft noted that actually, but I decided to excise it because she was mildly chastised by the chair for not giving way. Just to keep you happy I will edit the post. It was not a spurious point of order, it was a point of fact, that, apart from her, Primarolo refused to give way to people. She also has a really irritating patronising voice that makes me just want to slap her.

Now bugger off.

So says Philip William Hendren. Well, Mad Nad has just got up. Let's see if she has discovered any intellectual honesty.

Go on slap her, it wouldn't seem like slapping a woman if you slapped her across her moustache.

David, what is it with you posting my name, and the, oooooh my middle name too? Is it your way of somehow threatening me or something because it really doesn;t bother me. I'll just sit in the real world, light a cigarette and laugh at you.
