In a unprecedented press briefing yesterday, Michael Martin, Speaker of the House of Commons announced it was the governments express intention to ban itself and continue no more with it's 'work' of producing legislation. Explaining about the radical move he said: "we've been banning things for so long we can now finally see the light at the end of this long dark tunnel and ban ourselves." He continued: "we haven't had a clue what we can and can't do with our MP's expenses for a while now, and I don't doubt it's the same for every common subject of her Majesty. Therefore we must put a stop to this sillyness right away, so all current laws stay in place and there will be no more, either we make the laws we have work, or we give up" "and now we give up" he added. According to the Act, the MP's will receive a only a five percent above inflation wage increase for their sudden lack of law-making hours. The vote on the proposed "No More Laws Act" is scheduled for tomorrow, and includes a clause to say that if no-one turns up the bill will be deemed to have passed by unanimous majority.
