Sir Phillip writes:
The news that Lady Kennedy will be taking her uncle's seat in the US House of Lords will be greeted with pleasure by feminists everywhere. Unlike the UK which insists on the principle of male primogeniture, the US has for many years espoused the principle of equality in its feudal governance.
Lady Kennedy will be raised to the peerage by Governor Paterson of New York, a local petty warlord who was himself appointed to the position after his predecessor was criticized for over paying a prostitute.
