As I say at vigils, one of the real burdens of peerage is the responsibility to speak truth to power. It's easier when the Power is just some guy from Jersey or New York that you see at the odd event. This isn't so easy. I do understand about choosing your battles. It's lead, follow, or get outta the way. For this one, I choose to lead. It's very unpleasant. But I gotta do this.
