Parliamentary Language

The link is to Greg Mulholland's comments in Hansard as to the nature of a Labour Minister. That was an interesting, effective and novel way of getting headlines.

I tried once to use the word egregious in a parliamentary petition, but was told is was too intemperate.

Labour MPs are trying to be sanctimonious about this at the moment. There is a good point that debate should be about debate rather than insults, but some Labour MPs should look for more important issues to spend time on.

It's good that Hansard gives enough clues - the initial letter and the right number of asterisks - for us to work out what the word was.
