Just watched his adjournment debate on the web. It was marvelous.
Several reasons:
1) Parliament, democracy in action. Fascinating,
2) His eloquent putting of the argument (Unlike my last sentance)
3) Dragging a Govt Minister away from his:
Family/Girlfriend/Boyfriend/MasonicLodge/Opus Dei meeting/Pub (delete as nec)
4) The support from neighbouring MPs
All in all, a tour-de-force which actually appears to have worked
A lesson for all of us fighting against restrictions or reducing access to facilities. Clearly, even if we don't listen to what goes on in the House late at night, Chief Constables do and take note of the preceedings.
I actually don't know which Party Mr Viggers represents but he can be Minister of Transport any day.
