FOR many years the House of Lords has been under attack because the members, although British, are not elected.
The same snipers are frantically trying to ensure Britain stays in the European Union which has a totally unelected ruling elite, almost all of whom are foreign.
Our self-government, in the preservation of which so many have given their lives, is infinitely better than surrendering our independence to such an authority which has assumed oppressive powers.
