Lords and IDs

The more the present government and the House of Commons fall into disrepute, the more reasonable and worthy of respect the House of Lords seems to become. It’s astonishing until you realise it’s exactly the point.

My guess is that it's all likely to be in vain though. I hope that I am wrong but the Lords is no longer a serious barrier to the commons and there is a lot of money and some rather large contracts riding on the ID database and all its associated bits and bobs.

Indeed, one of my consultant friends now drives a brand new Jag paid for in cash.
