some wise heads to do this job.
Which is what we used to have with hereditary peers before politicians started meddling and filling the place with, as you put it, time-serving chancers.
The very last thing we need is another elected house where political partisanship and appealing to the lowest common denominator with shallow and meaningless soundbite-politics becomes the norm.
The House of Lords should be full of very old, very experienced, and very wise people whose only purpose in being there is to to serve their country and save it from the short termist, knee-jerk, politics that dominates the commons.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

You have made it quite plan that your national socialism has no place for democratic decision making and wish to ignore the democratic vote of the Scottish people about independence.
The Barnett formula is corrupt and a disgrace to anyone that believes in 'fairness' and social justice.0 -

Of course i understand that a corrupt SNP will continue to be corrupt:

I see that the racism motif has been replaced by the national socialist one. Can I announce that one of the posters has won this round of Godwin's law Bingo?There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0
