PMQs and Mermaids

PMQ's today was interesting.  There were claims that the NHS is getting record funding, which if it is, is very short of what it needsThe economy was mentioned, though it is not doing too well.  

Another U-turn has taken place, the Conservatives backing a windfall tax on energy, this only being on companies that do not contribute to global warming though.  Our new Prime Minister did not tell outright lies though, other than a question on sewage, an issue that I would love the Conservatives to take legal action against The Guardian on.     

On the topic of legal action, this brings me to an issue with MermaidsA question about them was raised in PMQ's, one which has been raised by JK Rowling.  It is hard to tell what is true but what is interesting is that Mermaids has not been able to get someone to represent them in this matter.  We know from McLibel, that those with money can be taken down by those with lesser funds and I am sure that just like Keir Starmer did when it came to taking down McDonalds.  Needless to say, there was a storm about this before today.  It will be interesting to see what happens, but whatever happens, I do hope the truth comes out and clears either Mermaids or JK Rowling on this.
