The UK might be about to do something that should have been done during the days of David Cameron, Tony Blair or even Margaret Thatcher. How does one respond to a measure that is more than four decades overdue?

It will probably be announced in the second week of September after Parliament returns. Skeptics still doubt this will happen.
