It was never going to be an easy battle and in a way this may
well play into our hands (ever the optimist!). More than half of
MPs in Parliament (344) signed one or more of the 6 or 7 EDMs
that supported our campaign and I would expect this news to get
up their nose as much as ours. Why it might even wake up a few
more people by making them aware that this is getting serious.
We now have a much clearer target and in a way that has become
clearer with this new announcement (or is it still a rumour?). We
have convened a meeting on Dec 1st to discuss ways that we can
build on the support that we have amongst MPs.
Cheers
