Even though not many people are aware of just how often the Houses of Parliament have been bought to the point of actually doing something useful for this country, the UK’s MPs have decided that they need yet another new law. This law: The ‘Mind Your Own Sodding Business Regulatory Powers Act’ will enable the government and MPs to prevent the general public, those journalists yet to be given a knighthood, and other busybodies from poking their noses into things that don’t concern them.
MPs, even before the last election, have long felt that it is rather unhealthy in a mature democracy for anyone outside the tightly-knit and incestuous political world around Westminster to have any interest in what MPs and the government really do on the people’s behalf, rather than what they pretend to do, or claim to do whenever it is time for yet another tedious election.
Therefore, the government has had no alternative but to create a new criminal offence to prevent anyone, especially those tiresome bloggers and journalists who refuse to mind their own business, to find out what is really going on in government.
After all, as several MPS have pointed out, neither the government itself, nor the MPs in the Houses of Parliament has a clue as to what they are doing, and – so – it seems deeply unfair and contrary to the business of the House for anyone, especially outsiders, to attempt to find out.
