For the record, I am not particularly enamoured with Boris / Dom and the peerages they have dished out to their mates and business associates. I haven't really dug into it but I am sure there may be some deserving cases in there but, understandably, the dodgier one's grab the headlines and attract the left wing lynch mobs.
It doesn't make it right but it's hardly a shock as this has been going on as long as I can remember - Wilson, Callaghan, Thatcher, Blair, Cameron, May (and others) all rewarded some of their mates / family / associates with gongs and peerages.
Equally, I am not a huge fan of the way this government operates at times - to my mind they were the lesser of 2 evils at the last election.
What I really find depressing is the "I'm right, you're wrong and I won't even listen to your arguments because you are an idiot if you disagree with me" sneering style of politics. The complete lack of introspection by some people is scary - Trump is the undoubted master of this but there are a number of (mainly left wing) posters on here who behave that like. When the going gets tough just throw some abuse. If we are honest with ourselves, we have probably all been guilty of that at times.
