Nadine is Fisked

Thanks to Chris Paul for directing me to this analysis of Nadine Dorries speech in the Commons this week during the abortion debate.

Here is a taster

In short, a thoroughly disreputable and dishonest attempt was made to co-opt the language of equality in order to prevent abortions taking place at any time, but especially after 24 weeks, on the grounds of foetal disability. As this clause appeared, initially, on Dorries’ amendment it would be inconceivable to think that she would not have been aware of it or its purpose, unless she left the whole business of writing and tabling amendments to her new found Christian fundamentalist friend, Annette Minichiello Williams, and simply did pay attention to what was being tabled in her name.
