The Mouth of Lords - 2023
Materials: Photos / Python / Command line tools
The 750 mouths of the House of Lords, the upper house of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
Baroness D’Souza (former speaker) describes the number of members as:
“a public scandal”and that some people did not treat it as:
“a serious job.”
“Basically what they are doing is treating it as an honour - maybe it is something that gets them a table at a restaurant.”
92 of the peers (hereditary peers, all male) are there simply because they inherited a title from their father.
