Britain's Got Talent...

Who'd have thought video coverage of a Parliamentary committee's proceedings could be so entertaining eh? OK not so slick a production as the talent shows beloved of TV schedulers but wasn't it a revelation? The PMA provided a complete stream of the entire evidence hearing into the consultation on pubcos and tenants, which, saved me a great deal of time hunting it down if you want to watch the whole thing click here

I'll leave you to make up your own mind over the various 'performances' and the evidence the witnesses provided but I thoroughly recommend the first part where the mouthpiece for the pubcos, Brigid Simmonds, put forward the argument that her paymasters should be spared from regulation and legislation.(Never a good idea to call into question Parliament's sovereignty in the UK with veiled threats of European legal challenges...)

Suffice it to say there's only three days left to have your say in the consultation...
