  • Kevin Thomas: Dear Mr Dismore, You relate the cost of the TV licence fee with that of the cost of a TV. How very simplistic your reasoning. Try to weigh up the cost of the TV licence against our freedom... ( 9 November 2008)

  • Tahira Hossain: Andrew Dismore is a prominent supporter of Israel and this looks like an example of the use of accusations of anti-Semitism to attempt to silence critics of Israel. (This tactic has been... (17 May 2008)

  • Benjamin Samuel: I have tried to appreciate Shalom FM but the reality is that the station is very poor quality, which is presumably why they constantly get rejected from FM. Their playlist is not remotely Jewish... (26 April 2007)

  • Chris Malme: It is a tactic, but not how you think - it is actually to *prevent* the discussion time being limited. If a Member moves that "The House do sit in private", it is put to a vote. However, even... (26 April 2007)

  • Benjamin Samuel: Well in that case the working hours might change a bit. Also there is flexibility in religious law and it sounds like the Beth Din have not considered the Jewish prohibition against waste. The... (29 January 2007)

  • Paul Mitchell: Testing for a quorum. Members may not normally speak to the attendance in the House. A motion to sit in private forces a division and a head-count. (20 March 2006)
