In a short but sweet snipe entitled "Blair Outraged at Commons Invasion", the
Eye's Political Staff Writer, John "Sergeant-at-Arms" hits the nail fairly and squarely on the head on the issue of the Fox Hunter's recent protest in the Commons.
"The prime Minister yesterday expressed his fury at the invasion of the House of Commons. He told reporters, "The House Of Commons is no place for people expressing opinions about Government policy. The House of Commons is meant to be empty so that my policies can go through unopposed.
"How dare these hooligans come into the chamber and try and debate the issues?. Its an affront to autocracy" (Surely, "democracy, Ed.)"
