Stop the clocks going back

It’s a gloomy prospect so no wonder support is growing for the Daily Express crusade to stop this wholly detrimental annual ritual.
A Private Member’s Bill tabled by Conservative MP Rebecca Harris will go before the Commons on December 3 and all kinds of groups from the FA to Greenpeace (not often you’ll find them as bedfellows) are in support.
It’s too late to prevent this year’s wind back but let’s hope that it’s for the last time and by the autumn of 2011 there will be light at the end of day, if not the tunnel.
