I think he is entitled to his own personal view but I feel strongly that he has not appropriately justified his position, even in his supplementary public statement. By saying that it isn't a debate that needs to be had at this time because people aren't "banging on his door" about it suggests that he perceives there to be a correlation between the number of people who contact their MP about an issue and the validity of entering into a public debate on the same. That notion is hogwash. To show him that there are people who care about this issue - whether or not they have written to their MP about it before, we have made a facebook group, which I hope you would consider joining : http://www.facebook.com/groups/324162870957149/ Thank you for writing this blog post Steve, which I agree with wholeheartedly.
