The strange death of the House of Lords
In 1066 and all that – probably the greatest work of history produced in the English language – reference was made to Mr Gladstone’s inability to solve the Irish question. Whenever he thought he had an answer, the Irish changed the question.
The question of the House of Lords represents a modern version of the same conundrum. Unfortunately for modern politicians, it is they who pose the question, and they invariably get it wrong.
