In the House of Commons yesterday the Bill to outlaw foxhunting was forced through by the use of the Parliament Act. This act, which has only been used 4 times in the past 55 years, allows the elected House of Commons to bring in new laws against the wishes of the unelected House of Lords.

To announce this decision the Speaker of the House read the following:

‘The Lords insists in their amendments to the Hunting Bill to which the Commons have insisted on their disagreement for which insistence they assign their reasons.

‘They insist on their amendments to which the Commons have disagreed for which insistence they assign their reasons. And they disagree to the amendment proposed by the Commons in lieu of the Lords, amendments for which disagreement they assign their reasons’ Order.’


What the hell does that mean???????? Even the Speaker admitted that he was only reading the message and didn't understand it!
I "INSIST" that I do not know!
