William. in reply to @JWestland

Good is that democracy may have worked, bad is that he may pull a shit trick on other several smaller and more vulnerable groups to get the money.

Ironic since the bill had passed the elected house of commons, but was blocked by the unelected lords.

Just to muddy the water a bit more, it was a Statutory Instrument. If it had been a bill, it would have been a money bill, which the lords are not allowed to debate.
Part of the reason the lords blocked it was to send a message to the commons not to try and get things through on the sly.
