The APPG meeting was a complete farce and very difficult to listen to. I take particular issue with the patronising tone of the MPs when the ‘little people’ (as one person depressingly said) spoke up. After they’d been ‘put in their place’ and assured that “we are all on the same side” it was sickening to hear them grovel to the MPs and thank them for what they are doing! This forelock tugging and deference needs to stop. Let us never forget that it is the unwillingness or inability of the majority of MPs to question ANYTHING that got us into this mess in the first place. They are supposed to work for US! None of us owe them anything.
