On the other hand, I've just come back from a speech by Lord Digby Jones. Who made more sense than anyone I've heard for a long time. On just about all the issues that get me going. He gets my vote. Except as a Lord he doesn't need it.
It may have something to do with him being Lord Digby Jones of Birmingham. A place not known for its airs and graces.
So I can cancel the boy's application to the Socialist Workers Revolutionary Party (I wonder if I should have told him that I sent it in).
As for the previous Lord, a letter to David Cameron has resulted in a call from 'Dave's' office...hopefully there'll be a result in this peasents revolution.
In my experience it is usually the nouveau riche and newly appointed Lords who are jumped up and use their rank. Those born into it are usually quite down to earth.
