On 11 June 2016 our Lords in the House of Lords found more time to breast beat about the introduction of Caste legislation. Outraged Lords Harries, Cashman, Baroness Thornton, Lord Desai and Baroness Flather expressed their collective outrage. Why they demanded had Caste discrimination not become a law yet. The working classes suffer discrimination in almost every aspect of their lives. The wealth gap between the classes is also immense. The country is more divided on class lines then ever before.
House of Lords in its present form is an affront to our democracy. The solution is a wholesale reform of House of Lords and purge of people who do not represent anyone. And money or political connections should not be a criteria of appointing people to the Lords.
