Yes, bravo to Peter Bevan-Baker for having the temerity to describe debate in the legislature as a farce (see the Don Humphrey letter of December 22nd.) The farce word is not a derogatory expression. Some members of the legislature will probably go scrambling to look up the meaning of temerity. I say some members require lessons in English grammar and the speaker might take note especially. You should apologize to Mr. Bevan-Baker.
