There’s an interesting little diversion this morning from all the usual woes.
In an interview, the Duke of Devonshire stated that he believes the aristocracy is dead. ‘Coffin’s nailed down, it’s in the ground!’ he says, and threatens to give up his title if hereditary peers are removed from the House of Lords.
But life peer Lord Tebbit has the answer. ‘I take the view that the House of Lords is operating quite well and that we should make the present life peers into hereditary peers.’
Hmm. As a personal view, I think I would prefer to maintain the old hereditary peers!
