What about that? We have a government that can stop accidents through designation orders
David 'I'm a bit out of my depth' Lammy, the under minister for nationalising antiques and so forth, has signed an order protecting the wreck of a ship 'believed to be that of the Dutch East India Company vessel Rooswijk'. I cannot get especially fired up about that, and I'm even prepared to accept on trust that it lies within British territorial waters.
Howewer, here is the silly bit: "The Order laid in Parliament will protect the newly discovered remains - and the 150m area around them - and will prevent accidental damage". Erm, accidents are accidents. If a supertanker is sinking somewhere near the wreck, will LammyMan emerge from the DCMS, flying faster than speeding bullet to protect the wreck?

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
What if a shark shits on it? Will he be there with some water to clean it up?... oh.
Indeed, or over refreshed booze cruisers having a mid-channel purge?
Whenever I hear Lammy is involved, I don't know whether to laugh, cry or whatever.
Hitch has exposed all at his blog...behold PHITCH.
Lammy is my local MP - a really ghastly man. He's fucked up in every job - starting with health, constitutional affairs and now in this position. A totally crap MP. Unfortunately, Tottenham residents would vote for a broom - as long as it had a red rosette attached to it. Wait until Lammy is exposed in the 'redtops'- it's only a matter of time according to my Labour mole. My lips are sealed. The answer to Instanbultory's question is CRY!
Still, he is less given to making incendiary statements than Barmy Bernie of less than blessed memory.
Actually, C, Bernie Grant was a good constituency MP with an independent mind. He didn't pull any punches when he said that Labour-Haringey provided crap education and that he was mistaken in sending his kids to local schools. People still have fond memories of him.
Liberal.....
