Daily Politics

Today's show had a discussion on restoration work to the Palace of Westminster. A few MP's object to moving out although the building is at risk from fire. The building does not have the same regulations, old heating system has electrical wires alongside and there is an asbestos problem. Wondered why some weren't keen?

Should they stay or should they go?

Re: Daily Politics

They're in a bit of a quandary, aren't they?

Either stay in an unsafe building or:

"MPs face a six-year drinking ban after a committee decided they will move to an office block operating under Islamic laws while the Palace of Westminster is refurbished."

My bet is that they'll risk the Palace of Westminster!

It's not the "law" it is a rule. The lease my seniors' club has from the council has a ban on alcohol too, it is not the law either it is merely part of the lease agreement (not a muslim in sight)

Yes, I suppose it just serves to clarify the apparent hold 'they' have over us in our own country!

Apparently it was agreed by boy George in order to get their investment.
Stupid boy!!

Now is our chance to show that Sharia law in this country has no teeth.

Re: Daily Politics

All the delays and pontificating could result in the whole building becoming dilapidated. The tower that houses Big Ben is tilting.
Fears over the long-term stability of Big Ben have been raised because it is beginning to tilt to one side. The top of the clock tower is leaning one-and-a-half feet off a level position, according to surveyors, and getting worse each year.
Its lurch of 0.26 degrees is said to be visible to the naked eye – and if it goes uncorrected could cause the tower to crash
