Crepes 07/15/18 8:48:09 AM #25:	UnfairRepresent posted... Crepes posted... I'm happy to debate you on each and every one of those points once you provide a respectable source for each one. Oh come on, you live in the UK and see the same news I do for the past 20 years. I'm not going to find and post sources for each one. That's a lazy evasion and you know it. I mean christ if you do a google search right now you'll see a top story about there being 1,296 stabbings in London in the first 4 months of 2018. And I don't even know WTF you mean when you say you want a "source" on the House of Lords... so here's a wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Lords EDIT: Where did you live when you came to the UK and how long were you here for? I travel a lot so I've been to a few places London, Bedford, Plymouth, Leeds, High Wycombe. Longest was when I lived in Uxbridge for a couple of years and worked at the Daily Telegraph routinely seeing these stories you claim don't exist. I'm just asking for you to back up your claims. That's all. Sorry if you won't or can't do so. I refuse to get into a debate with you based on anything other than facts so you can't move the goal posts like you usually do. If you don't want an adult debate that's fine with me. I'll be here all day if you change your mind. EDIT: The house of lords are meant to be a checks and balances type of thing. Generally they will either pass a law or return it with some amendments for the house of commons to sign off. I can't think of many occasions where the house of lords have outright refused a law but I'm sure there are probably some. Mechanisms are in place so that if the government want to pass something they can force it through. This is to stop the same bill ping ponging between the house of commons and the house of lords indefinitely. If the same bill is passed three times in the house of commons then it bypasses the house of lords on the third attempt so like I said they can't indefinitely block something. --- https://imgur.com/bbzZKws Praxis Makes Perfect <cite>Crepes posted [p:905108668] in I'm a ...
