Insurrectional violence in pursuit of the overthrow of a repressive existing order is not murder it is a legitimate right.

Cool. Does that apply if things kick off in Scotland... 🙂

It really is terrible the extent of repression that we are all subjected to. What a terrible place to live....

If its something that stops us people from developing and growing, then it is repression. Not the type of repression that you have narrow definition of.

Any chance of some examples of how you are not able to develop & grow?

I, and you , have zero chance of being the head of state. Tenuous and said a little tongue in cheek but it is true. We are limited.

terrible the extent of repression that we are all subjected to

Nice use of the term subject which I am sure you know comes from the Latin: subiectus "lying beneath". Its hard to argue that an unelected chamber is democratic which is why you probably tried to get us to argue about repression than argues it was fair.

. What a terrible place to live

Not really but its not hard to see how we could improve the democratic accountability of this sceptred isle

NW nails it really and there is nothing about this worth defending or praising unless you like deference or tradition.
This made me chuckle though

yet it functions as well, if not better, than any other version in the world.

My country right or wrong ?
What exactly is your evidence for this claim ?Could you explain why so few other countries go for an unelected chamber in your explanation?
