Which asks the question........why?

[naomi24]

Why indeed. What nonsense.

[gulliver1]

She should be given a seat in the house of commons right next to Boris.

Stick to the thread gully stick to the thread.

I think Rodders has been on the steam tugs!

[naomi24]

If he ever had the plot - which I doubt - this past week is proof positive that he’s lost it.

[bednobs]

he hasnt done anything has he?

[naomi24]

Not yet - but he’s very impressed with her so watch that space.

[grumpy01]

Pleased she is back home but don’t what qualities she has in the political arena.However I see Labour are putting forward other candidates for the red benches including the noncefinder general.

[davebro]

Well she'd probably be as much use as more than half the old duffers in there. Why we tolerate it's continuance is a complete mystery to me!

[andy-hughes]

Fortunately, the lady herself appears possessed of equal amounts of a sense of reality, and what is really important in life, and will step away from this nonsense, which shows the politicians involved for the idiots they are.

Why? To balance up Evgeniy Lebedev, maybe ...

//Why? To balance up Evgeniy Lebedev, maybe//

He has never voted - I doubt he knows where the place is.

[tomus42]

Does anyone seriously believe this 'others have speculated' tsih?
Perlease.

[Gromit]

No. Definitely not.
If you are going to give an honour for pbeing arrested for being in the wrong place and at the wrong time, then the Birmingham 6 and Guildford 4 must be top of the list.
There have been quite a few elevated to a peerage, just because they have been victim of an hate crime, and that is just wrong.
Doreen Lawrence and Mrs Garry Newlove should not be in the lords.

[youngmafbog]

Agree totally Gromit.

[dannyk13]

What has she done to merit a seat in the HOL ?

[davebro]

the HoL is an expensive irrelevance.

[Peter Pedant]

Doreen L is not in the Lords because she is black or bereaved.

she is there because she kept faith with an obviously broken system and 'unbroke' it - saint whilst living if there were efer such a category
