Will it happen before June? When is the parliamentary recess?

Once our brave protector-in-chief stands up in the commons and announces it, it's gonna happen sooner or later. Of course the parliamentary party has been showing tentative signs of vertebrae in the last couple of weeks, so they may have to do a deal. I expect this to take the form of free ketamine for families on completion of the relevant forms (in triplicate, but that's okay cos they'll be sending you *dozens* of copies to entice you). Of course if the computer decides next year that your domestic arrangements do not constitute a family because your offspring are insufficiently blond and blue-eyed, or one of them is showing left-wing tendencies, then the police will be around to arrest you for possession of it. Of course by then ketamine will be classified double-secret A*, carrying a minimum jail term of 1000 years, with extra penalties for attempting to die with time left to serve. Not that you should be worried about that because it's not a law designed to criminalize ordinary hard-working decent families - it's just designed to get the really nasty people who do terrible things, like look at police officers funny.

I've moved this into UK by the way, because even Jacqui Smith admits that it's got absolutely nothing to do with Science

Although announced by Government as an intention, the law will not be changed until next year. This predictin is as good as over.
