There was something on the news this morning that prompted me to write on the subject of dishing out titles. We have a system in this country that allows for the continuous perpetuation of total inequality a system that isn't used in many civilised societies. We have of course Lords and Ladies and a plethora of other people carrying titles with them to make them feel different and distinguished from other members of society and this dates back to ancient times. People who have acquired these titles were simply those able at the time to push themselves up on the pyramid of power and most of these guys achieved this greatness by being rather nasty to everyone else. So your average Catlee thief 800 years ago (someone who would be in jail today) got themselves a title that their children and their children's children are carrying on today. We also have a new version of this total nonsense where a Prime Minister dishes out titles to people who have done very little other than help them retain power so we have people like Mandelson being called Lord Mandelson? Isn't it time that we grew up and got rid of these disturbing system of inequality and removed all titles? We are all equal. The other way to deal with these total nonsense (and am saying this at the risk of losing my opportunity to be knighted in the Queens honors thingy) sell titles to raise money for those in need. Make them cheap enough so that we can all afford to buy them. In other words we could have Lord of the Rogers and Lord of the Grays and Lady Perks? Or maybe not?? Get rid of titles I say! There was nothing Devinne about Elgin or bloody Mandelson!!
