My e-book on the Fixed-term Parliaments Act. A pointless constitutional abuse. March 16, 2012. But the last time Royal assent was withheld was by Queen Anne in 1707. It’s obvious that in a democratic society with a constitutional monarch, public lawmaking should not be subject to the will of one unelected person, however grand. So: when might it be constitutionally appropriate for the Queen to exercise her undoubted legal power to withhold Royal assent, and in effect veto Parliament’s legislation? My poi...

The Broken Of Britain: The Paralympic Prayer
http://thebrokenofbritain.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-paralympic-prayer.html
One Month Before Heartbreak. Monday, 10 September 2012. Dear Starter, and those on a podium. Hallowed be thy games. They will be run. On the flat as they are in Stoke Mandeville. Give us this day our DLA. And forgive those that deny our existence. As they fail to forgive us for not getting better. For ours is the wheelchair, the hospital trolley. For ever and ever. The paralympics were fantastic, a blessed event for both participants and spectators. 14 October 2012 at 04:27. 6 November 2012 at 03:16.

One Month Before Heartbreak. Friday, 14 December 2012. If you believe. they put a man on the moon. Today Esther McVey announced some really good news, especially if you were awarded a lifetime award of Disability Living Allowance many years ago. So the not very cheap or cheerful bus is not an option. Taxi maybe? Well cheaply is the main criteria. Cheap with a big boot to fit the NHS “one size fits all” home gym and workout machine, aka Fat Bastard, wheelchair. It’s a futile aid,...Then there are heating ...
