A video of an honest politician!

[FourWinds]

This is a repost guys. I woke up and realised that the title of last nights post was so crappy I should do it again. Trust me, it's worth the nine or ten minutes; you may never see another honest politician right, it's like staying awake for a moon landing.

Viscount Ridley, my hero!! - YouTube

The guy talking is English aristocracy, a member of the House of Lords (currently and un-elected body, most are simply born into it). He is giving a kicking to a member of the House of Commons (the ones we vote for here). The Lords are there to sanity check what the Commons are up to. I think that in the past people were concerned that democracy may have its risks and limitations when scaled to a national level! Worth thinking about I think.

11. Message conventions
Posts made by members must accord with certain conventions.
a. Off-topic digression: Stick to the topic. Do not deviate from the subject discussed in a thread as this is called off-topic (OT) posting. Open a new thread if a new issue arises from the discussion so others can always see by the title what the thread is about. Do not post the same topic in several forums (no double-posting / cross-posting).
b. Post titles: The title of a post should accurately refer to the post content. Do not place links in the title.
