The post you are reporting:
The house of lords represents that part of British history that saw the great rip off:
during the period of the British Empire, from its foundations in the 17th century, the establishment of the lords was the representative part of British society that lorded it over the masses and took the greater share of wealth.
Press-ganging young men onto warships and sending them off to slave-labour. To be hanged if they dared escape.
The signing over of mineral mines in Canada, Australia, South Africa and elsewhere to the rich families of high society Britain.
The horrors of the Industrial Revolution: working 14 hours a day in slave-labour conditions, with women and children falling asleep on the machines and sustaining awful, and often deadly, injuries.
Sending children as young as five into Britain's coal mines; then as young as seven, until the law on minimum age for child exploitation was slowly moved up the scale.
Deporting convicts to the Caribbean, America and Australia, into slave labour, where many of them died.
I know something of history, Barry.
Whatever happens in British history, the lords are always those who cash in, and the others are always those whom they lord it over.
But today they are becoming a reminiscent of the kind of person who represented the "British Captain" in the war fleet, whose men were slaves, often press-ganged and beaten, and who cashed in the "booty claim" for a prize ship of the enemy taken at sea, while the sailors contributed their spare pennies for the family of a dead comrade who fell from the masts onto deck.
But when many sailors died in one time, not many shillings were left to go round for their families.
The link shown in post 1 describes exactly that despicable mentality, a subsidised self-elected bunch of scrounging no-goods who despise the society of the working people and live off our backs, while complaining.
