    Quite right. They should play by the rules and inherit their seats from their fathers or by bribery. Tradition is everything in the Lords.

    Now then I read a guardian piece by Sandy Totsvig attacking this very thing the other day. The Church is against Gay Marriage was the thrust of her arguement.

    I’m anti theist so I fully support taking the Church out of any and all Governments decision making. I think it’s disgusting in this day and age that a single Religion has a say in my life against my will.

    Get imaginary friends out of politics.

    The whole lords thing is shambolic. Starmer has promised reform. I for one look forward to it. But I have to say that this group has had some of the most scathing criticism of the legislation these scumbags are pushing through.

    i think bishops are way down the list of people who shouldn’t be Lords. That fuckweasel Hannan is in there, theres all kinds of bad smells after Johnson finished with his Pets Win Prizes. Now theres piss all up the wall, and on the fancy red leather

    But is it important for the bishop to be wished well?
