Why Do Pretentious, Insufferable Twits From England Go Around Calling Themselves 'Lord'?

because of history old boy, something you don't have.

show some respect peasant!

Upper-class Twit of the Year-------> :twitchap:

I'm English born/half-Irish with Irish Republican sympathies (not Irish Republican violence though! am very peaceful). I've been told all about the British Monarchy/Titles by the Irish, how they stole lands/property & businessess with brutal force centuries ago here in the UK & Ireland.
Basically, the sooner the 'system' is crushed the better. British MP Tony Benn gave up his title to be become a comman man, MP, & explains the UK does not have a democracy while we have to swear allegiance to some outdated middle-aged regime in charge of our daily lives. The UK is a dicatorship, but with bio-robotic puppets who are used to discipline the common people into submission to the Monarchies demands. They're just a fungus of 'respectable' gangsters/satanic masons with no empathy who are steeped in blood, weath and power they don't deserve.

The whole fucking lot of them should piss off, Monarchy, Lords & Titled creeps with land & wealth that belongs to the common people, the Church/Religion, get rid of the lot of them. Britian is responsible for more WARS/Conflicts in the last few centuries than any other, leaving old Empire countries in a 'bloody mess!' We wouldn't have Arab Terrorists if if wasn't for ex-British rule, who carved up land as they were leaving, leaving people to fight amongst themselves. As soon as I walk out my front door I'm on camera everywhere I go! Having dual UK/Irish nationality, after been told the history of the Brits while in Ireland has really opened up my eyes. We Want Our Country Back..!!

It's completely annoying. Must be some weird remnant of the social structure from the Dark Ages. The Lords and the serfs. The more things change, the more they remain the same.

English people in general are annoying.

House of Lords

most American genealogists are looking for
a bloodline to align their family with
English aristocracy.


Yeah, odd that, isn't it?

House of Lords

To this day in Britain entry into the Parliament House of Lords is possible only if you have a title, and thats all you need you dont get elected. I think the system is called peerage, there's also the House of Commons (commoners) which representatives get in by being elected.

Not sure but I think legislation needs to be approved by the House of Lords before it becomes law.

Caste and class systems have been a universal feature of human social structures from time imemorial - because they work and are rooted in truth. I wouldn't expect idiots to understand that though!

Upper class twit of the year = Lord Monckton! What an utter prick.
