FIVE years ago today 17 January [2006], Kay Jordan spoke in the Hanbury Street London E1 against the Crossrail hole attacks. Two years later, Rhoda Brawne, Kay’s friend, went with Kay Jordan to register opposition to the Crossrail hole Bill then being processed via a committee in the House of Lords.
There they encountered a group of peers who had been assembled as the ‘Crossrail Bill Select Committee’.
The Group of peers behaved true to form. The form had been set already in the 2006-2007 ‘session’ of the House of Commons’ version of the “Crossrail Bill Select Committee”.
The behaviour of the peers’ ‘committee’ in that ‘sitting’ was as daft, as banal, as really contextually irresponsible, undemocratic, antidemocratic and as contrary to the requirements of universally desirable codes of accountability as had been on display during the comparable sitting staged in the House of Commons during the previous ‘parliamentary year’. The result was that Kay Jordan found herself being misaddressed, misheard by the perpetrating peers performing the parts of the peddling of the agenda of Big Business that their little committee had been routinely contrived to perform.
This created moments which Kay Jordan spent trying to explain her role so that the parasitic peers would be prevented from persisting in obstructive or offensive obiter interruptions.
So offensive were the peers and so unhelpful that Kay Jordan’s friend Rhoda Brawne decided to speak. Inevitably, the parasiting peers failed to get the real message thus ending up with an inane and creepy exchange aimed at Rhoda Brawne herself.
So deeply insulting were they that Rhoda Brawne went on record to assert that she should not be addressed as if she were a schoolchild!
