| #3 Y'all are forgetting... Americans went to war _twice_ to obtain our independence from this institution (along with the House of Commons and the rest of the British Government) the elites want to pretend was a "Beacon of Integrity." |

| #2 most respected institution in the UK like that is hard to do... kind of like being the most sympathetic SS guard at Treblinka or similar... Rot has set in on the UK, and they are not able to take care of their Muz parasites (or the native ones either) |

| #1 That's a bit harsh - I'll bet it's still the most respected institution in the UK! Reminds you that, although you might have a perfectly logical philosophical dislike of unelected privilege, you can't deny that there's a lot to be said for people having power by accident rather than having clawed and shoved their way up the greasy pole for it... |
