Khoodeelaar! Continuing to question the stunt staged by Jack Straw about scrapping the UK' house of lords’. This questioning includes the role that straw and his co-touts of big business agenda played in letting the house of peers serve as a stooged house on so many parliamentary measures, proposals, instruments and bills. What does that say about straw’s respect for real democracy? What we are saying is that even if the present house of peers is replaced by an elected second chamber that will not guarantee any improvement in the standard of accountability. Why? Because so many have Jack Straw’s 'constitutional' stunts have been exposed as being empty. Empty. And empty!

Khoodeelaar! Continuing to question the stunt staged by Jack Straw about scrapping the UK' house of lords’. This questioning includes the role that straw and his co-touts of big business agenda played in letting the house of peers serve as a stooged house on so many parliamentary measures, proposals, instruments and bills.

What does that say about straw’s respect for real democracy? What we are saying is that even if the present house of peers is replaced by an elected second chamber that will not guarantee any improvement in the standard of accountability. Why? Because so many have Jack Straw’s 'constitutional' stunts have been exposed as being empty. Empty. And empty! The role that the House Of Peers played in rubber-stamping the Crossrail Bill [February 2005 – July 2008] is a serious case in point.

There is no accountability in either House of the UK Parliament housed in - as we have devised the analytical phraseology depicting the discredited domain kept up in imagery and in imagination at the expense of peoples’ say on what the ones holding power in the peoples' name get up to in the UK - the Palace of Ghostsminster. So why did Straw stage the stunt about the House of Peers? The plain answer is that he was desperate to avoid the headlines, especially linked with the disclosure by the Director of Public Persecutions that the House of Peers had sabotaged the prosecution of a member of the House of Peers. The answer to that sabotage ought to have been Straw’s active engagement with his own duties as the alleged Secretary of State for Justice. Instead, Straw disingenuously disengaged himself from his duties for justice and took shelter in the stunt hole. [To be continued]
