This government has me puzzled

I didn't know we had a government. I know there are a bunch of headless chickens running round Whitehall, but I have yet to see any sign of a government.

Perhaps this explains this new Bill.

This government has me in despair.
Contradictory, inconsistent, duplicitous.
Promising much
delivering little.
Meanwhile.....?

Oh sorry I didn’t see this before I posted.

But this post encapsulates the destruction of environment also, which will be fought in parliament I think.

On the one hand we have headlines such as 'Government rolls back nature protection to boost housing' next to the wonderful headlines on banning trail hunting, banning electric shock collars, chicken cages, banning shooting of hares during breeding season, etc, etc.

If Labour's plans for the extra animal welfare measures actually come to fruition that would be so, so good. But I fear they'll have a battle on their hands from sick people who either put profits first, or who love to kill for sport.
