LOL!
The only proper reply to a physical affront in The House of Lords is pistols at 20 paces.
Hooligans, yes, but there is something oddly refreshing to me about politicians attempting to beat the crap out of each other. No spin (at the time), no re-election concerns (at the time) just a passionate debate that gets physical. I may regret even thinking this, but the image of some republican, any republican, pushing Ted Kennedy against a wall, screaming at him that his is a silver-spooned, drunk who killed a woman..... wow. I guess I just like the idea.
Exactly.
Men, fighting like real men used to. Uh, well, aside from that biting thing. Maybe it's a British thing -- like men dressing up in women's clothing.
When neither man can hold his hand steady enough to fire, it might not settle anything!
Pistols? These aren't rogues, these are lords. Only rapiers will do.
Thanks for posting the poll results. Frankly, I'm surprised that the results weren't more obviously skewed in the Arabs' favour.
Result of the BBC-brainwashing over the past 60 years.
