And our Government feel it right and proper to continue their Summer Recess until 12th October 2009
That is some holiday 21st July to 12th October.
Room for thought here. If we can do without them for that long ~ do we need them at all?
Just to make my point this is the schedule for 2008/09
Recess dates 2008-09
State Opening: 3 December 2008
Recess House rises House returns
Christmas 18 December 2008 12 January 2009
Half Term 12 February 2009 23 February 2009
Easter 2 April 2009 20 April 2009
Whitsun 21 May 2009 1 June 2009
Summer 21 July 2009 12 October 2009
In addition to the recess dates listed above, the House will not sit on the following Bank Holiday: 4 May.
Compare that with our forces in Afghanistan who get 6 weeks annual leave or the "entitlement" that Nulabour has so graciously passed into law that we are all entitled to 4 weeks (including Bank Holidays) pa
