It can happen here (but not if we're careful)!

Right wing Christian "charity" Christian Action, Research and Education is funding "researchers" in the offices of twelve British MPs in a transparent attempt to influence the upcoming vote on the embryo and fertilisation act. Gordon Brown, under pressure from the churches will allow a "free vote" on parts of the bill whereby Labour MPs will be freed from their obligations to the party's manifesto and forced to obey the orders of their church (under threat of damnation or worse). However CARE, as it is known, now faces inquiries by both Charity Commission and the House of Commons watchdog over what surely amounts to illegal lobbying. Let's hope they get their arse smacked and are sent scurrying back to America where they belong!
