    They aren't blocking anything. Ping-pong is normal Parliamentary process (where's greenlake? ). This will return to the Commons, and the amendments will be stripped out, and the draft legislation returned to the Lords, whereupon it will be accepted, unamended (I predict). The whole point of the Lords is to scrutinise and ask the Commons to think again, but they know their place, generally speaking. One round of ping-pong is already baked into the timetable and will add about a week (i.e. mid-March for Royal Ascent).

      I think it's time to cull the number of lords at the HOL
      Indeed. All those frustrated foxhunters could hunt down peers instead.

          Or Maybe our lazy brits don't want to be doctors?
          It costs the government money to train up medical staff, far cheaper to get qualified nurses from the Philippines and qualified doctors from Romania.

            Most are a bit old to still need a nanny. The average age in the House of Lords is 70.

              Wouldn't stop them. Apart from the women, obvs.

                In your case, you really feel there is a shortage of bitter village idiots somewhere worth going to?

                If I were in your shoes I'd get a shift on before your CV ends up further down the list than scooterscot's or Darmy's!!

                Oh but you obviously DO.

                  No wait I'll think about it.
                  No still don't care.

                  Stupidity of people must be rewarded, and I'm all signing up for ruining your country if majority of idiots want it.

                    About time some sense was made.

                    Hopefully the Lords will reject the bill altogether.
