This Is A Bit Random But Something I Hope Will Spark Discussion

[Stargazer]

Jeffrey Archer, the perjurer who lied under oath and served a prison sentence thereafter is still a peer; Lord Archer of Weston Super Mare. How come he did not have that title removed?

[Old_Geezer]

I think he promised to feed the donkeys.

[Canary42]

He was Thatcher's darling

All to do with a very smooth back I believe.

While a knighthood can be taken away from someone relatively easily, the only mechanism for taking away a peerage is the passing of an Act of Parliament specifically for that purpose.

Given the shortage of time for the discussion of Private Member's Bills, with only about 150 being introduced each year and with only about 7 of those actually becoming law, Parliament probably collectively takes the view that there are more important calls upon its time than preventing someone from voting in House of Lords who voluntarily no longer does so anyway.

And his fragrant wife was the embodiment of English womanhood while his accuser was a hussy who was no better than she should have been. That's according to a judge.

[Stargazer]

Sandy - quote "Has she elegance? Has she fragrance? Would she have, without the strain of this trial, radiance? How would she appeal? . "Is he in need of cold, unloving, rubber-insulated sex in a seedy hotel round about quarter to one on a Tuesday morning after an evening at the Caprice?"[45]. It was probably why was attracted to the very raunchy opposite that a prostitute was offering and she was unfairly maligned in the courtroom.

[Hopkirk]

Does he vote?

[Buenchico]

^^^ JA voted against the UK leaving the EU in 2017 but, apart from that, he's not voted since 2000:

it was before the Removal of Titles Act 2013 or whenever
as a punt

off my head as usual ( but this is AB so no one will notice) Lord Denning in the 1973 judgement on the Common Market - yes he ruled we cd join. Mused a bit.
on the subject of repealing the Indiependence of India Act, well India wd NOT become part of the Empire again. Sooooo he said some things were not recallable or cancellable - of which he said title were one.
BUUUUUT I notice Sir Anthony Blunt had his knighthood removed around that time.

Archer ( oh god Vulvo is gonna go CRAY-zee !) extended perhury law. His falsity was never used - but he had sworn a false affidavit which was offered but not used in evidence - - about Monica Coghlan and paying her, I think. And the judge said - - er-er, still perjury

[Peter Pedant]
