We have come a long way since the days of absolute monarchs and changes in Equality legislation have reinforced what we as a nation believe in which is that we are all equal.
But how can we all be equal if there is a real pyramid in our society on top of which the landed aristocracy sit? Why do we still have Lords and Dukes? Are titles not totally incompatible with the notion of Equality? How can we all be equal when we have some brigadier trolley type swanning around Kensington thinking that he is above the rest of us? And why do we need a House of Lords? It should be replaced with an upper house of Equals. We are all Pares inter Pares... abolish the Lords!
At least the labour party are working at it, everyone who is not stinking rich now are according to Miliband all middle class, well except the poor the sick the disabled and those who have no jobs and we do not count.
