A better idea would be to take the s-o-bs out and push them off the Tower Bridge.

I had a humorous notion of some backwoods redneck fundie reading that article saying, "Wut a bunch of blasphemy! House of Lords? There's only one lord, and that's the Lord Jesus Christ!!!"
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Having Lords isn't my issue, having unelected Lords who are put in a position of power for nothing other than the fact they have climbed to the top of their particular religious cult is where I have issue.

The House of Lords should be an elected chamber, just like Parliment.

Good Luck with that one Skipper. As far as I understand it "the House of Lords" prerequisite is to be born on the right side of the sheets? Dodgy

If they're elected they aren't "Lords" though are they.
