NHS Debate in the Lords

Nice. So an unmandated government has passed a piece of unmanifesto'd (not a word, Shirley?) legislation through and the only hope we had of it being block was by a crumbling body of... wait for it... unelected individuals?

That sums it up perfectly.

But hey, we're all in this together, I'm sure all the members of the cabinet will be suffering along with the rest of us...
 
Was it NHS hospitals where the LibDems went for their mass castration in May 2010?

This from the same country that's wringing its hands about getting rid of the primacy of the male in royal inheritance in order to no longer be sexist...in its remnants of dictatorship.

Depends.
If the alternative is the election of candidates selected by competitive examination and with a proven track record of ability to do the job, you would probably be right.

Show me such a country. I may move there.

Meanwhile, having a brake on the fashionistas has it's advantages, and having people who take a long view- because they expect their great great grandkids to inherit their estates- and who have no need to lick the boots of the gummint of the moment, has something going for it. A judicious weeding of the more egregiously mentally incapable among the peers would, I think we would agree, do no harm.
