This comment has been posted today.
This comment worries me a bit because I am hearing from all sides that the "become a Lord" thing is "fake".
Wow
i am lord butts
@@mrfahrenheit8417 hilarious
And remember: buying some trees in Scotland thinking you'll be a Lord it's the equivalent of buying parcels on the moon thinking you'll own them.
I have been finding comments like these!
In other words, it makes a great gift for someone who likes the idea of being a Lord but who should not, under any circumstance, hold actual political power.
Bro, he's literally hawking it on the pinned comment.
Yes it's correct, when I'm new in London I start to ask London people why many lords 😂😂 because we all know I am fool to understand what is the Lord words, because my Lord is Jesus Christ, then they are start laughing to me and said we all know that our Lord is Jesus Christ.
Until I learned British culture and I found what is the meaning of the Lord, I saw Lord title was started given by the King or Queen of UK, king and queen only given that title to those man helped a kingdom or donate for the kingdom of UK, so no lords are poor all lords are rich, and until know they continue to give a title lord to a man that helped and donating her wealth for the people of UK. That is the 1 function of Lord of UK, the 2nd Function is Religion and Politics.
But Lord word in UK are not represented to Lord in the heaven or not represented like God 😂 a Lord word to UK is a Friend on Royal Families or Any important person or UK that named her Lord.
Lord in UK is like Honorable, Sir, but no other meanings, only people called you my lord, if you have a wife they called them my lady, also to your daughter or son if they are in the right age a people called them my lord and my lady that's because they are having a blood of Lord.

How to become a lord.
Step 1: Be rich.
Step 2: Become a lord.
*no you need to use the great courses plus*
Stage 3: ?????
Stage 4: profit
Step 1.5: Throw money at the party currently running things

"The PM has been asked nicely not to give so many peerages" ::stares in bulls***::
And when did politician did something else, than what they were asked to or what they promised beforehand?
Why would a PM ever want to stop doing that. It's quick, easy, and cheap. He doesn't need to call a committee or get approval. He just whips out standard form 12-J-mb(7) and makes someone a peer.
It's the equivalent of a manager handing out fancy titles at work because there's no money in the budget to give anyone an actual raise.
That doesn't work on me, as I typically invent my own titles. Nobody argues with it, but then they probably just don't care.
@@protorhinocerator142 Except that the titles come with votes. If you don't hand out titles to political allies until they outnumber your enemies, you would seem to be doing it wrong.
Yeah, they did THE one thing, that has proven so successful in forwarding human history: To ask the powerfull nicely... 😞 I followed a guy, axplaining greek myths. The prince Theseus, after killing the Minotaur on Crete, consolidated and stabilized the situation back in Athens as king now, and banned monarchy for ever, thus establishing the first democracy !!! The guy then said, that of course, no powerfull person has ever done similarly on one side, but also it´d be naive to believe, that any powerfull person would ever give up on ALL of his powers (not even the mythical father of democracy)... Theseus actually kept the executive (as highest general) and the judiciary (as highest judge) for himself, and gave only the legislative to the people... (That´s 3,500 years ago, and far better than the UK today, but still not perfect... Cause u can never trust the powerfull in matters of power)
For example: former PM Boris Johnson-who made his *brother* a Life Peer.
"Son, I'm dying"
"Yes, you are."
Dear lord
It's a thundering nuisance.
Which ones? Hereditary perhaps.
indeed.
365 likes, that's a coincidence.
'Yes Father, it's a thundering Nuisance.'
So if a lord had a second job in a jewellers, would he be the lord of the rings?
Conway79 lol
Yes he would
That goes without saying.
If he was appointed by the appointment commission for his expertise on jewellery, yes
Probably not bcs there is a movie called like that from JRRJ tolkijen
I skipped through the video to get to the ad.
tip: put it on silent and then switch off the computer so it is just about bearable then

I legit thought it was the begining of a mixtape 😅
if you plan to replace the prime minister with a potato, can we replace the peers with pears
it would make sense because pears are like the untrendy slightly mouldy apples, in the same way the house of lords is an the untrendy slightly mouldy house of commons
Eleanor Taylor no, that would be horrible (horrible)
Stephen Thomas Well, the United States have an orange in office, and you can see how that's going.
When you think you've elected an orange and accidentally get a fruitcake.
*Clever*
Quite possibly the best sponsored outro I've ever seen
Some people have really creative sponsored videos, others not so much

@Gizio the Jackal I'm also American, but actually my mother is British so I think I am technically eligible to become a UK citizen and become PM. I'll let you know how it goes
Apart from people we begged to come over on the HMT Empire Windrush in the 50s
French: Our system is weird.
Brits: Hold my flat beer.
As an American, I am sincerely confused; we don't even know what apartment beer is.
is the french system somewhat similar to the german one in that you sort of elect both of them but also sort of don’t, or is it closer to the tire fire of the US system that will cause me to spontaneously combust if i think about it for too long?
@Scom Tott wtf your name

My new idea for a law:
by Samantha Ung Ung Ung MP
Basically, I think dogs should wear clothes.
There are too many naked dogs n̶o̶w̶a̶d̶a̶y̶s̶ .
Last time I went to the park there were
fifteen of them. E̶u̶r̶g̶h̶.
Do we want our children to grow up in a
world where there are fifteen naked dogs in
the park? I don't. Do you? No you don't.
So, my idea for a new law is that all dogs
have to wear at least a jumper at all times.
The end.
P.S. You have completely wasted your time
pausing this video.
Is Ms. Ung Ung Ung single?
Please date Mr Ahmed, he is known to be great with boob and vajine
These “People’s Peers” are chosen for their skills and
experience - such as if they’re experts in law, or science, or the arts, or beer
- thus assuring that the House of Lords is truly representative of the British
people it serves, with the exception of the 92 hereditary peers, 26
godbrothers, and 620 life peers chosen by the prime minister who ultimately
have the final say on the laws that govern our country, despite not being
elected, which arguably is a positive thing because it means they’re less
caught-up in party politics and can concentrate on getting the job done, but it
also makes them completely unaccountable and the paltry reforms in 1999 served
only to legitimate how inherently undemocratic the entire institution is and
delay any meaningful reform for the foreseeable future whilst we continue to
labour under the assumption that we live in a democracy and still have a
monarch…
That's one hell of a sentence.
*god botherers
You know what, I can't be bothered to read this anymore, the end.
I actually enjoy seeing this in writing too, thanks for typing it.
I thought he'd said "poultry reforms" for some reason...
I'm not going to read this... thanxx btw...
"Son, I'm dying"
"Yes father, you are" I was legitimately laughing for minutes.
Legend has it there’s an open manhole in Chelsea called the Peerhole and if you fall into you become a Lord.
A chap named Lord Smythe Lourdsmithe Smethers told me about it
No it doesn’t.
Very funny
DAMMIT I thought the scene at the end was the father trying to tell his son that he will inherit his position (as lord). I did not expect that xD
Lol I actually leaned in to hear what the dying father had to say
there have been some changes to drag the house of lords kicking and screaming into the 19th century. lol
It's funny and sad because it's so bleeding true XD :'(
And yet still manages to live so far in the past it's ridiculous. Any system of government that works on family inheritance is not fit for purpose in the first place but only accepting women if they don't have any brothers is beyond archaic
@@emmao6578 yeah there’s like 4 layers of nepotism/inheritance on top of all the sexism and partial theocracy
I thought the sentence was going to end "... into the century of the fruitbat". Such a missed opportunity.

The sponsors should REALLY pay you more. A lot more. I NEVER watch those skillshare whatever things.
I hope they read the comments and that you bargain well. You may even be appointed as a life peer for your services to advertisements
I'm sure they know. And you always have these "get a free month by type in my name" give them a great reference how good a youtuber advertise them.

@@ShepardOfSheps there are various requierments banks have that may seem like a formality to you but are either hard or imposible to comply with for poor people

"To drag the house of lords kicking and screaming into the 19th century" that joke made me howl.
I really miss this series, I'm really into politics but learning about it was boring and confusing, and watching this was so much more interesting and funny.

A sense a lot of tension from Jay in this video. Something tells me Jay doesn't like the aristocracy.
Well that was unexpected
Spanish Inquisitor Is it something to do with their nice red robes? Or is it just a built-in fear?

"Honor my dead father" - I am literally dead oh my LORDship

I love how he doubled down on that joke too, no mercy!
The process of choosing which hereditary peer gets to sit in the House of Lords is hilariously involved. It reminds me of how the Doges of Venice were chosen.
I agree, it should be simplified by allowing all titled noblepersons to sit in the House of Lords

Interesting how pro-Brexit people complained about the "undemocratic" EU while having hereditary and appointed positions as well as church leaders in one of their houses of Parliament.
I voted to leave the EU because it's rotten to the core and have been an avid supporter of the abolition or at least the complete reform of the House of "Lords" since I was a teenager. Everybody votes for their own reasons and based on the statistics or gut feelings that support them, we are not robots. I am still Pro-Brexit because the EU parliament are still incompetent and extremely corrupt. They do not wish to reform themselves to be fairer and more democratic either.
Because it's Impossible to be anti EU and anti House of Lords too? Some people just want democracy where they can find it. The EU is even less democratic than the Lords as it is the legislative part of government that is unelected.
But something something all Brexit supporters are awful or something.
Kalobi one might think underlying xenophobia may be at play.
Because you are trying to make out that an argument made on a relative basis is one being made on an absolute basis. No system is perfectly democratic, but that does not mean that some systems are not worse than others.
Whilst the HoL is an undemocratic institution it is entirely beholden to the HoC; that is to say that although it can kick legislation back it cannot do this forever, and the HoC has the power to completely disband the HoL. In this sense the HoL acts exactly how it should - as a powerless check and balance on the government to hold it to a high standard and nothing more. That is a far cry from the EU where the undemocratic Commission are the only body that is even allowed to propose new laws.
What's more I would rather have those hereditary and church leaders amongst the peers than the ones dolled out by the MP stacking the house with people that will tow the party line on whatever poorly thought out rights trampling bill they are trying to push through next. That is what the reforms really did.
I watched this for my zoom class and I love this channel I’m glad I can watch these on my class lol
