Lords reverse Lords

[Picciotto, Sol]

They wheeled out some ancient old crocks who were undoubtedly much offended by
the thought that a legal Lord would have any connection with an outfit like
Amnesty. Since the 3 Lords who voted to extradite Pinochet are just about the
only ones with liberal leanings among their lordships, odds are high that the
murderous old bastard will be on his way back to Chile within a few weeks I
fear.
