#1 What annoyed me was that the whole parliamentary system stopped for the day.

I hoped that MPs understood that their job was bigger than themselves, that they let the "show stop" demonstrated that they didn't. Because they let their guard down, they let "Mandy" get some unpopular legislation through the lords.

#3 frankly, I wish our Congress would take a week or 20 off right now. Condolences to the Cameron family - I have never had to deal with the loss of a child, but I think it would be devastating to me

#4 If you ran a company with a thousand odd staff that stopped work for the day every time one of the staff had a tragedy then it wouldn't do a damned thing*.

Tradgedy for Cameron yes, not for other MPs.

* That might be the best thing to do if all you do is mess things up but...

#6 As a father of a 5 year old I can only pray hard for Cameron and his family and say "but for the grace of God, go I". There is nothing in this world like love of a child and watching them grow and become larger than you emotionally, mentally, intellectually and spiritually. This is a fate everyone who is a parent dreads - a child passing before you do. He has to be one hard man to keep his emotions and heart in check. I wonder where he and his family goes now?

#7 No doubt, I have young children, I feel horrible for anyone that loses a child. Easily my worst fear. OTOH, our congress can take the rest of the yr off (w/pay) and I'd be happy w/it.
