Ineffably silly legislation (letter to the Dompost, April 22):  

So columnist Dave Armstrong’s disappointed that in the debate on same-sex marriage, the MPs who opposed it ‘failed to show up‘. I suggest the reason for their muted performance was deep depression, caused by the premonition that such ineffably silly legislation would succeed. We should be thankful they didn’t go out and hang themselves with a halter.
