You ask today? The celebration of when they hanged and burned poor Guido Fawkes for doing what many of us have often thought of. The place is a total joke. We all know the chambers from TV probably, but if you have an appointment with an MP the guided tour through mountains of paper stacked along corridors in some parts used to make me cringe. I regularly had lunch or tea with the late Joan Lestor who was chair of a committee I was secretary and deputy chair of. The places to eat there are the best feature. So, why no keep the tearoom and so on and make the rest into a hotel for visiting Chinese and Russian investors?
Yep Graham, buildings and occupants should be condemned !
I was having a think and had the idea that the property could be put on the market and sold to Donald Trump or the Japanese to be converted into a luxury hotel or something..
A nice new English Assembly at Ashby de la Zouche would be just fine.
I thoroughly concur, Peter!!! The Houses of Parliament are no longer fit for purpose - (and actually the same could be said for most of its denizens!!)
