I don't know perhaps you could compare the genocide of Baltic people with the genocide of the taxis which is how your novel could end up at this rate :wink:

I doubt if they will bother reading it. IMO What's going on at the moment is a box ticking exercise. The big decisions have already been made, they are just legitimising the whole thing by going through the motions and wasting everyone's time.

I doubt if they will bother reading it. IMO What's going on at the moment is a box ticking exercise. The big decisions have already been made, they are just legitimising the whole thing by going through the motions and wasting everyone's time.

The question that needs to be asked of the LC is, 'Will all responses be published?'

And I have a feeling that they won't be; it's just a sixth sense that I have. Some may already know the answer to that question and if you do know for certain, then please post on here.

If the responses are not published, then nobody outside the LC knows what has been written / said and nobody on the outside will know what weight of expression has been placed on any given consultation subject or topic.

This will obviously lead to non-transparency and a feeling of a stitch-up within the trades.

If however all responses are published, then alarm bells may well be sounding if the LC decide to legislate in the opposite direction to heavily weighed majority opinions in responses on a particular consultation topic.

Perhaps the LC may indeed wish to stop the repeated soundings of the alarm on many of the consultation topics and decide not to publish the responses.

Should they not publish, then serious questions need to be asked about the transparency of the whole process.

All opinions matter not only those with evidence do. I'd be happy with an analysis of the consultation instead of every opinion word for word being available

They said the submissions were their property, and would be published unless the authour requested anonymity.

If you want to use a citation, try for a clip from "Fifty Shades of Grey" - I am reliably informed that it gets quite steamy - that might make them read it all. :badgrin:



The Mrs has got all three books.....sadly all to no effect :sad:

Maybe you should ask her to read the books and not just use them for standing on whilst cleaning the top of the cupboards. :mrgreen:
