@Barbarawillis68 It's up to our politicians to devise a democratic alternative to the present mess that is the House of Lords - we pay them enough to act on our behalf. Plenty of countries have a second chamber, perhaps they should have a look around to see what others do.
At least the muppets in the House of Commons are elected, albeit under a grossly unfair electoral system. The Lords is mostly made up of political appointees, many of whom are there only because of their financial support to one or other of the political parties. And let's not start on the clergy having a place in the House. Time this rotten institution was dragged into the 21st century.
Whatever the rights and wrongs of the case, the House of Lords has probably signed its own death warrant, and not before time.
Earlier this morning you claimed it was "Western countries" that had screwed up the climate, now you have changed that to "industrialised". I hope you are including two of the biggest polluters, China and India.
"Globally people are taught that Britain is the pinnacle of civilization..." "...told them to learn English so we could expolit them..." "if Western countries hadn't screwed up the global climate" So much BS in one post.
If Corbyn had been in power at that time I suspect we'd all be speaking German now.
Turning up to a very formal event yesterday looking like he'd been dressed by a charity shop, unbuttoned shirt with tie hanging loose, he looked like a cross between Catweazle and Steptoe, that's without the sullen silence through the national anthem. I wonder if he will be sporting a white poppy at the Cenotaph in November?
Stood "respectfully silent", I see some people are towing the official Labour line on Corbyn's behaviour yesterday. It would have been better if the odious man had not attended in the first place, he has little respect for this country or its institutions, and would not have been missed.
"Professional benefits claimant" - how many times have I heard that tired old cliché used by left wing nutjobs. Change the record, Mrs C.
