Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament
Slashdot | Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament: "Wednesday June 29, @02:22PM
'In his maiden speech to the House of Commons, the Hon. Member for Copeland, Jamie Reed MP, announced that he is a Jedi: 'as the first Jedi Member of this place, I look forward to the protection under the law that will be provided to me by the Bill' (the quotation is a fair way down the page; search for 'Jedi,' not surprisingly). How long before we have a Congressional equivalent?' Update: 06/29 23:15 GMT by T : Reader JE_Hoover adds a correction: 'Although the previous MP for Copeland was the Hon. Member for Copeland, the current MP for Copeland is not a member of the privy council. Debretts make it all clear.'"
