THE NOUVEAU TOFFS

It has now been revealed that Labour has very quietly abolished the Honours Scrutiny Committee which, for the past 83 years, has vetted the appointment of new peers.

Labour has created so many new peers that it is now the largest party in the House of Lords.

Moreover, it has also recently been revealed that 75% of those who have donated more than £50,000 to Labour have received an honour. Every donor who has given more than £1million has been awarded a knighthood or a peerage.

It is truly stomach churning to watch all these nouveau toffs literally lording it over the rest of us, despite their socialist pretensions. But as we know, it has always been a socialist practice that some people are more equal than others.

The Honours Scrutiny Committee had been set up after Lloyd George had been found to have been selling honours.

One solution to the democratic deficit in England, is for the House of Commons to become the English parliament, and for the present House of Lords to be reformed and to assume the role of the British parliament.

Given the ease with which Tony Blair has been packing the House of Lords with his socialist nouveau toffs, then that would certainly be a good solution to more than one problem.
