Quote:
Plans to stop accused killers using a partner's infidelity as a defence were defeated by 15 votes as the opposition said juries must be free to decide.

Conservative and Lib Dem peers also joined forces to secure an amendment backing specialist military coroners.


To quote Brucie, didn't they do well? :D

I like headlines like this. It made me think that Labour were fielding a cricket team. Thank you.

I knew there was a subtext as to why the story made me happy - thanks for that, it confirms I haven't gotten worse :lol:

This is a prime example of what can happen when the system works correctly.

Isn't it lovely? :mrgreen:

All we need to do now is repeal the Parliament Act and we've cracked it.

Let's hope something similar happens in America when the pro-gang-rape law goes before the house! :shock:

A lot of republicans are voting to allow a clause in employment contracts, where female workers cannot sue the company if they are gang raped on the premises or by other members of staff... :?
