@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.
Huh? Don't ever forget Mrs C, I know exactly who you are, and it makes reading your demented posts all the more amusing.
Doubly ironic then, considering you are carrying a fair bit of timber.
Care to clarify your first sentence Mrs C? Four usernames so far and counting.
Oh the irony, Mrs C accusing somebody of changing their username...
If Corbyn had been in power at that time I suspect we'd all be speaking German now.
