Your Leaping Lordship

"Ten lords a-leaping" is a line from "The Twelve Days of Christmas" but the real House of Lords in Britain now numbers 810 - twice as many Lords that can fit into their elegant Westminster Hall so it is fortunate that they don't all show up at the same time. Some are bishops and some are peers with lifetime membership. Efforts to overhaul the House of Lords meets with more noise than change.  But, then, some things never change. Hail Brittania!
