          Well, it has to be seen to do something.

          Of course if it does something else, it gets wiped out.

            The Tories, you've got to love them, really rather like the House of Lords especially when they decide to fill it with their own in order to get them to vote on their terms. Now, when it doesn't go their way, they become little snowflakes. The right, got to laugh really...

            Lords by party, type of peerage and gender - UK Parliament
            Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

              House of Lords belong in the dark ages of serfdom bowing down to the lord of the manor.

              They have no place in democracy.
              (Two months later, the HoL prevents the Commons doing something of which DP disapproves): "Thank God for the HoL, last bastion of our democracy, defenders of our rights against those idiot MPs, where would we be without them" etc.

                  Yes indeed. The democratic majority.

                  Bleedin' leftie liberal facists.

                    So there can be no complaints now that the HoL is in control?

                      75% there!

                      Come on people, let's watch them chinless coffin dodgers squim as the elected MP's debate ridding the country of them.
