Re: PM Rishi Sunak naughty
I agree, you very rarely see bishops in the House of Lords except for debates on the church. I have never seen a bishop in a televised political debate. I think the last one that I have seen on TV was at the King's opening of Parliament. Unlike politicians, they don't hanker after the limelight.

Re: PM Rishi Sunak naughty
If Joe Bloggs is in the House of Lords because he is a bishop, good luck to him. Bishops are all well educated, by virtue of their job as well as their academic prowess and their contacts with all kinds of people, and I see no reason why they should not sit in the House of Lords. Please, may I respe...

Re: PM Rishi Sunak naughty
as you say, a lot of the members of the Lords were members of the Commons. They are therefore politicians and are the most active members of the House of Lords. It is interesting that many of them In this category drop their partisanship and vote according to their conscience or their ex-constituent...

Re: PM Rishi Sunak naughty
What on Earth is wrong with wanting to put forward your case to a group of people who can either support it or go against it? It isn't as if he is trying to impose a whip. I thought they were supposed to be debating chambers. The House of Lords is a debating chamber, yes, but the Prime Minister is ...

Re: PM Rishi Sunak naughty
As for influencing the House of Lords, I do not think that an appeal from Sunak, will make one iota of difference to their decision. maybe yes, maybe no, but, as a matter of principle, I think it is wrong to allow anyone from the House of Commons to try to influence anyone in the House of Lords. Th...

PM Rishi Sunak naughty
it was announced last night that Rishi Sunak has appealed to the House of Lords to follow the decision in the House of Commons, to allow flights to Rwanda. In my opinion, it is wrong for him to try to influence the voting in the House of Lords. I don't know the legality of it but I suggest that it i...

Re: Internet protection.
I am informed (by a reliable source) that I do not need anti virus anymore for my new laptop. However, what does concern me is how to remove cookies, do I still need Ccleaner does anyone know please? Yes, I still use CCleaner, which is not designed as a malware detector – it was transferred in the ...

Re: Internet protection.
Strange that you should ask this question, because I started asking it myself a day or two ago. For many years, I have been paying $60 or thereabouts for a complete protection system, which worked fine and certainly protected me from myriad boo-boo's. It was certainly the best system in the sub-hund...

Re: Electric Cars - Caveat Emptor
Surely, the comparative silence of EVs is one of their great plus signs, even if the cats may not agree. It would be wonderful if the village youths did not have the means of perforating our eardrums, especially on Friday and Saturday evenings.
