Sleeping peerMuch amusement in the 成人快手 office at Millbank this afternoon as we all watched the television feed from the House of Lords, and observed a leading Liberal Democrat peeress sitting - or reclined - right behind her party colleague Lord Thomas of Gresford as he spoke at great length in a debate on immigration.

Lord Thomas's arguments obviously required the utmost concentration.

I'd probably be hauled up before the Lords authorities if I were to name names. So I won't. And I'd be in big trouble next time I visited Edinburgh and bumped into her husband, a prominent Scottish journalist.

There's an argument that she's got her head against a tiny speaker in the seats, just like in this video...

Crick, the real joke is that even with sleeping partners anyone who spends a bit of time nodding off to 'Today In Parliament' understands only too well that more sense is spoken in the House of Lords than in a fully awake House of Commons.

I used to think we should have a much more democratic system in this country.

Now I would be happy to abolish General Elections and have the Lords in charge of the whole shebang...- and if they do occasionally reduce the amount of laws being passed by falling asleep on the job - well, that can only be a good thing after the incontinent legal verbosity of the last decade of New Labour...
