a reply to: BrucellaOrchitis

Yeah, I know....

Parliament will debate the petition on the 6th January 2025 after it was put forward for debate by the backbench business committee.


2,815,418 signatures.

Anyone connected to a "business"comitee must surely be able to see the great danger our economy is in since the budget.
Should be an interesting debate!
Hopefully they can also reign in any ideas about a blasphemy law that is in the works in our supposedly free and secular naton before anyone who disagrees with what certain books say gets locked up or worse.

Plus-if Keith pushes through that insane Chagos isle deal before the next US admin which he is trying to do-the business comitee will likely be very worried about Trumps repurcussions on that.
Which will probably be severe,as that deal is highly detrimental to both UK and the USA's national security,just when we are on the brink of WW3.

Oh well I bet Lizz Truss is happy for a change as she is no longer the leader of the worst government we ever had.

What "blasphemy law" is that?!!

Liz Truss. Can I blaspheme about her?

God rot her.

Absolutely , a further nail in the coffin for free speech in the UK.

It was asked if Kier supported such a law in todays PMQ's,and he said...can you guess?
He said yes he loves the idea,

Blackbelt Barrister does a good analysis and includes the relevant PMQ segment at approx 1minute here:


I think you are OK to blaspheme about Liz Truss though,as shes not mentioned in any holy" book.

So, if they have set a date, a full 4 months before the petition date ends..... can they pull the petition?
It would be the logical thing to do. BUT, if that is the case, then no wonder they have set such an 'early response' to prevent the figure going even higher. Particularly if there is another traditional budget in March/April and Council elections in May.
