Bright idea

I read recently that our MP's are finally getting around to realising that working inside an antique is maybe not the best way to conduct our country's business. That maybe a cod-public school debating chamber is not the best way to conduct our country's business. So why don't they decamp to that monument to that eminent parliamentarian, past master Blair, the big tent? The government could buy it back from whoever they flogged it off to, put both Houses of Parliament inside it, and then flog the present buildings off to Merlin Entertainments, who would run them as straightforward visitor attractions. Shows in the two debating chambers put on by otherwise resting luvvies 1500 every afternoon except Sundays and Bank Holidays. Full-on 'Black Rod' uniforms for hire by the hour. Discussion ongoing about whether it would be considered lèse-majesté to have state openings.
