keep in mind iv not read the thread yet so not sure what the fuss is about, but id just like to remind people that
David
Blunkett MP looked to Repeal the blasphemy and blasphemous libel laws in 2004.
http://www.christiantoday.com/articl....laws/1584.htm
"Three years ago Mr Blunkett made clear that he favoured scrapping the common law offences of blasphemy and blasphemous libel."
"There have been no public prosecutions for blasphemy since 1922" because its assumed no commoner today knew it existed perhaps ?
Blunkett went on to win a libel case in 2006 after which he said in an interview he describes "as a period of reflection on how a libellous story - and
his errors of judgment - led to his downfall.".
led the fight in 2008 for a change in the law so blind people will now be entitled to the higher rate of Disability Living Allowance.
however its not clear if he then claimed his entitled
higher rate of Disability Living Allowance after getting the law changed in 2009
clearly he would have had problems filling in the complicated Disability Living Allowance forms as they dont supply braille DLA as standard down your local westminster job center plus.
it's unclear if his doctor, or indeed any disabled MP doctors has been involved in any slander cases, but judging from the passed dates, perhaps that will be a breaking news item in 2010/11
