Brrr


It’s official the Arctic chill has arrived. I woke up in the middle of the night and it was chilly so chilly I had to take a grab of the weather temperature on the iPhone provided by yahoo. Now I know severe weather warnings have been issued as temperatures in the UK dipped as low as -11C (12.2F) overnight but I never really believe it in fact normally I sleep through the coldest of the weather – like modern day hibernating.

The BBC seem to not be showing the weather at all today and just says Freezing Cold- maybe it’s so cold it’s broken?

The Arctic weather is expected to keep its grip on the UK, with lows of -10C (14F) forecast for southern England and Wales into Wednesday.

Battle to ‘nail Section 28’ starts in the House of Lords

The House of Lords is holding its first debate on the repeal of Section 28 in England and Wales on Thursday, 3 April. Stonewall expect this debate to provide the first indication of the level of opposition to the repeal of this hateful clause in the House of Lords.

Stonewall still need as many people as possible to help them in their campaign to “” by signing the petition against Section 28, which they are going to present to the three main political party leaders.

The next stage of debate in the House of Lords will come around Easter time when repeal will be discussed more closely by the committee considering the Local Government Bill.
