Argh... but thats the beauty of changing the rules mid-stream isn't it? People walk away going "whew' THAT was close, laugh, and walk on undisturbed.

I agree entirely.
What is patently wrong to my mind is that laws either exist by being on the statute book or don't by not being there. You can't pick and choose as the mood suits, although this is what our govt seems to have done.
If they don't like it, then have it repealed by due process, to repeal Magna Carta though would cause a furore of unbelievable proportions owing to its historical significance and its place as the cornerstone of a just and civilised England.
