ENVI vote lost

[Mark]

Well it's gone the wrong way. I don't know the details yet and it's not gone as we would have wanted. The fight is not over. Plenaries to come and then ultimately legal action. Sad day though for all those that made an effort

Quite. In the UK statute overrides case law when it suits parliamentarians. Bit more complex with European law though

Another +1 for our systems of governance

There is only one way that this industry is going and thats underground. The tide is flowing in one direction and desipte many a valient effort from many many people to protect our freedom of choice this now will not be stopped. Just my opinion
