    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

      Its a good thing his peerage is not hereditary and so will not be passed on to the next generation of Mandelsons.

        Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                The thing is, I've got nothing against Lords. They are largely an affable bunch who try and get things right (most ex-MPs behave differently once they get there)

                But Mandelson degrades the title. He's just a macheavelian s**t, who doesn't do anything to benefit the nation.

                There, I feel better now.

                He is though, isn't he.

                  It really sets a brilliant example for the troops.

                  Its a joke.
                  That was his reward for getting NL into power in the first place. Realistically, it was never going to be any other way, as they owed him too much.
