ROY HATTERSLEY- NOW THERE'S A SURPRISE



According to the CEP, Roy Hattersley,the victim of many a Spitting Image show, has come out broadly in favour of an English Parliament,saying it is a perfectly normal and required change in giving a level political playing field.

He is quoted as saying

"What would be so outlandish about having an English parliament with the same powers as those that are enjoyed in Edinburgh? Of course, the Welsh assembly would have to be upgraded to the Scottish level of autonomy. But that is going to happen sooner rather than later. And one day Northern Ireland - where devolution was pioneered - will become a self-governing province again",

"A parliament is not a daft idea. It would give the English what the Scots and Welsh already enjoy".

but ain't it funny that it has taken so bloody long for Roy to realise something in our democracy is wrong.
