This makes about as much sense as your facts do.

Have you 2 sorted out the murder mystery?

 

[daveindales]

Just signed a petition to get rid of the House of Lords and replace with an elected body. £300 a day for turning up and doing nothing, but try to keep awake. Waste of taxpayers money. Some of them turn up, collect their money, and have never spoken yet, despite being a member for years. Totally outdated system.

And who do you think will get the ultimate vote on that when or if the petition gets discussed in parliament?

[daveindales]

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. But, it made me feel better

Did you see that documentary on TV the other night Dave?

 

I'm not fundamentally opposed to an unelected second chamber. It does bring a certain degree of checks & balance to party government - and there is a place for religious representation and "normal" people in the mix. That chap that started Big Issue for example, who better to represent those that have fallen on hard times given his wealth of life experience.

 

What I do absolutely feel is that the whole of the Westminster estate should be given over to "the people" as a museum / historic building and that the political apparatus should be moved to a purpose built, fit for purpose, carbon neutral building / estate (maybe in Milton Keynes!)

 

A healthy dose of humility might just bring the politburo back in line with the electorate and the cost saving (after spend to save) would dwarf the £300/day/person of allowance.

 

It's a conversation I previously had with Dr Mynors.... he didn't agree!!

On the big issue, issue. Hasn't that franchise been taken over by a certain type of foreign immigrant?

 

 

Round this way big issue teams get dropped off one by one to their various pitches by shady looking individuals in mini buses, it's become a different kind of industry now.

 

Where have all the indigenous smackheads gone I wonder??

You're heartless Mr Johnson.

It would be quite Fitting I think?

It's a city with no particular allegiance no history, no pre-defined character (or any character tbh) and it's already known as "the city of complete cows":thumbup:
