House of lords

The headline article stated they have contributed precisely nothing aside from attending..they are of course then allowed to claim a daily attendance allowance and all expenses. Would be nice to be paid when you feel like turning up, paid your accomodation and travel, use a subsidised restaurant and do the square root of fuck all workwise. This is why i question the current system and if it is still fit for purpose, a fair question? Im sure if the article is untrue then the viscount and the lord will sue.
Wonder how 'attended' is defined?

Calling in in the way to thier club or actually sitting/sleeping though speeches?

Well, the practice known as "Gaming" involves a member entering the chamber for a very short duration then leaving...thus qualifying for 300 beer tokens. The speaking, voting, tabling questions & committee involvement should be the real measure...cant believe you suggest they take refreshment at a gentlemens club whilst in London!!
