between labour and the tories it's shameful that the uk is just doubling down on all this racist nazi level shit.
"baroness" - how long are British people going to cope with this medieval shit?
- In her case, baroness is the title she got when appointed to that house. She isn't a hereditary baroness, which still exist.

  Which is precisely the medieval shit I was referring to.
- A majority of people want away with it, just not the people in power. A law getting rid of the house of lords would have to go through, you guessed it, the house of lords.
  
  eh, every time there's a referendum it gets plurality of support. A bunch of people like the pomp and circumstance. And although I disagre I can understand.
we should bring back guillotining the rich
TIL that “House of Lords” and “House of Commons” are still a thing. Wtf, UK?!
What's wrong with being offensive?
- Fascinating that no one answered my question but instead chose to down vote the question.
  
  There is nothing wrong with being offensive, and you know it.
