Haba!
Parliament has disturbed my sleep today having decided again to go on break, or 'adjourn' at the poor tax payer's expense.
The reason is embarrassing: there appears to be confusion as to who 'sits' at the right hand of 'God,' the Speaker.Indeed we have sunk so low to have taken a decision that whichever party holds vigil, rushes to parliament at dawn, and occupies seats at the right hand of the Speaker shall automatically be called Majority.
It becomes a simple matter of first come… In that case, the left hand side of God the Speaker belongs to late comers, the Minority, whose seat is automatically a custodial sentence.This must have originated from the Apostle's Creed, where a resurrected Jesus Christ 'ascended into Heaven and 'seated' at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth, from there he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.'That verse in the Apostle's Creed has upset me from infancy, since being left-handed I kept wondering whether I was born on the wrong side of God the Father.
