He holds it vastly better than the law that held before.
He likes the lift in income for the rich across the board.
In many ways a modest, almost trivial award,
And he likes the Lamborghini that his lad can now afford. (Haw haw)
The Noble Lord, Lord Lawlor lauds the law.
The Noble Lord, Lord Lawlor lauds the law.
In his view far superior than the laws that hold abroad
As for the lower orders, well he really was appalled
That anyone should cavil at what was after all
A just remuneration, not a licence to defraud.
The Noble Lord, Lord Lawlor lauds the law.

PS To any non-English reading this, I have to explain, with a touch of embarrassment,that this is how the occupants of the House of lords, which, seriously, is a non-elected part of Government in the benighted United Kingdom (yes, why is that not United Queendom?). There should be a special name for democracy in Britain: Charade Democracy.
Lords or frauds?
ReplyDeleteI still can't really believe that we cannot now be rid of these government appointees and sinecures, no matter how abominably they behave.

I know, it is absolutely incredible. The fact that hereditary or not, the can sit there, with a privileged position to influence legislation in the 21st century in a so-called "democratic" country is just beyond belief. The Govt is just faffing around the problem. Clearly we need a Constitution with an elected second chamber, just like the grown-up countries.
