"Useless and dangerous"

I have this great little Google widget that tells me various things that happened "today in history". Some I couldn't care less about: "High-school valedictorian, actress and model Cindy Crawford born" But others prompt a wry smile...

Apparently, today in 1648, the House of Commons voted in favour of a motion condemning the House of Lords as "useless and dangerous".

Oh the irony! After yesterday in their lordships house, much as I loathe the whole disgusting setup of cronyism, patronage and heredity, it seems that they would be the ones today able to vote with some confidence that the Commons were "useless and dangerous", at least when controlled by the current bunch of egotistical mind-control freaks that call themselves the Labour Party.
