A tale of two Houses

[november_girl]

Today I put the Parliament Channel on in the background whilst I was sorting out some maternity paperwork. It started off with coverage of the House of Lords, who (amongst other things) were discussing their attempts to lobby the UN to consider other methods of dealing with issues surrounding the drug trade as "prohibition had clearly not worked so

Same experience here, different day.

Lords - actually getting on with sensible government issues
Commons - self serving little oiks weaseling themselves more 'above the law' concessions from the rest of us

"whilst I was sorting out some maternity paperwork."
At last, testing! now we'll see the gene pool improve.

*whispers* I hate to admit this but; in recent years the Lords have actually stopped a lot of cockgobble bills getting ratified/seeing the light of day. It's a bugger when you have to rely on banjo playing inbreeds (should that be lute?)to protect your 'rights'OK I know these days some Lords are mere mortals instead of blue bloods but the joke works less well(if such a thing was possible) if you add that in.

Yes, they've got far more right than wrong the last 10 years or so...no wonder Nu-Laybor want to get rid of them quick.
