Lords Reform?

Your husband’s lost his job and despite answering loads of adverts and cold calling lots of firms still hasn’t managed to find work.  The economy has gone into recession so there’s few firms taking on new people.  Those that might have expanded can’t get banks to lend them money to invest. Your wages have been frozen and if you don’t agree to a pay cut there’s a risk your firm will go under.   The mortgage payment is late.  Your benefits are to be cut.  Fuel prices are still way too high for your budget.  The County Council are cutting the subsidy on buses for your kids to get to school…

And in Parliament there is total obsession about Reform of the House of Lords.  Who gives a Monkey’s?  Now that proposals to timetable discussion on the Bill for Lords Reform have been pulled, it looks as if much of the coming months will be dominated by an issue that has been dragging on since 1911 and which many think could happily drag for on a bit longer without the country going into chaos.

When are our Lords and masters going to get back in touch and discuss issues of real relevance to the crisis?  Isn’t it time that the Organ Grinder told the Monkey to shut up and focus on the real issues?
