There are some great experts in the HoL that actually take their roles seriously.
Heading back to the early 00s here but I used to do some work for Lord (at the time but latterly Baron) Ackner. He devoted his retirement to trying to tackle the low rape charge/conviction problem. Was pivotal in changing the law to allow a husband to be convicted of raping his wife. A genuinely decent human being who turned up to the Lords to champion his causes right up until his death. As you say, there are some gooduns in there. And also a lot of cunts.

There are some great experts in the HoL that actually take their roles seriously. But the way that outgoing prime ministers can stuff in their mates and donors is risible. The bishops and aristocrats is a bit shit too.
