Not fair, my peerage has been stolen from me

AIBU to think that it is most unfair that I have not been given a peerage yet for my services to cesspits?

Yeah. Mine was blocked too. And I don't qualify for JSA. State if this country etc.

Hello nedine

wildfirewonder · 13/06/2023 06:54

Oh I know, there must be so many talented people like Dorries who've been blocked from feathering their nests at our expenses serving the country.

Something should be done? Like abolishing the fucking HoL perhaps, in favour of a democratic chamber.

angstridden2 · 13/06/2023 07:03

Agree, you have contributed so much to this country.why shouldn’t you get £300 a day for just turning up without having to go through that boring stuff of getting elected and working for constituents?

LlynTegid · 13/06/2023 07:17

OP might not be Nadine but one of the other seven people allegedly declined a peerage.

I am indeed one of millions of people who have not been given a peerage, it is an outrage. I am entitled to a title.

I haven't been given one either. I'm livid.

WakeMeUpWhenGoodOmensIsBack · 13/06/2023 07:29

I think you should definitely throw in the towel and quit the job you were actually hired to do in protest at this outrage. I'm sure the people who you're meant to be working to serve will understand.

How bad were the ones who were rejected when you look at who were allowed an honour

WeightInLine · 13/06/2023 07:31

Poor you!

You are the victim of what is clearly class war.

fiftiesmum · 13/06/2023 07:32

I just want to be a dame - do I need to be a lot more bossy to qualify

SnowyPetals · 13/06/2023 07:34

I am apoplectic that my services to chocolate eating have not been acknowledged.

toomuchlaundry · 13/06/2023 07:36

@SnowyPetals you need to work harder at that

PonyPatter44 · 13/06/2023 07:36

Just identify as a peer, and then turn up at the Lords and demand to be allowed to take your seat. They are grossly and offensively peer-phobic if they won't let you.

madeinmanc · 13/06/2023 07:38

I could trash Channel Four given half a chance! Where's mine??

Yay! Self identify! That'll get you in

xabia · 13/06/2023 07:44

Would love to know the others!

newnamethanks · 13/06/2023 07:44

So unhappy. Years and years of self-service and this is where it gets you. I'm very, very upset. Do you think I can get my money back for the stationery?

Yes, and you need to bully all your underlings and be very, very bad with numbers.

NeverDropYourMooncup · 13/06/2023 07:48

It's your own fault, you know.

Somebody's clearly attempted to read one of your 'books'.

People aren't supposed to read my books. Just give me money for writing about cesspits.

ShimmeringShirts · 13/06/2023 08:09

None of them should be allowed peerage, the complete shit they’ve put this country through the last 5+ years is disgusting. Not one of them deserve it and this outdated practice needs to end.

MrsBennetsPoorNerves · 13/06/2023 08:11

Agree with a pp, we need to get rid of this outdated practice with immediate effect.
