I have written about the Wilcox case mentioned by David Howarth and written up my notes from the meeting.

I would like to know how I might "adopt a peer" as suggested by Peter Lilley. What's the most effective way to influence the Lords to delay the bill until the next parliament?

I believe it was said at this meeting that the Government has promised and failed to carry out a Race Equality Impact Assessment. In fact it appears to be on-line at http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/docs3/reia_241104.pdf. I have not read it.

I've started work on a web-based scheme allowing people to @dopt a peer ... depending on how things crack on with it, it should be live by mid-next week. That's my plan anyway.

We had a full house (150-160) in Cambridge on Tuesday 25th January, listening to four excellent talks from our invited speakers. Streaming audio and video of the meeting will be available as soon as possible, but meanwhile here are a few photos of the gathering:
