The Lords of YouTube

Where are Mulder and Scully when you need them to investigate a mystery? The paranormal technology happening I am referring to is the strange case of the UK House of Lords publishing a handful of short videos on YouTube. The idea is OK, in that it has been designed to encourage youngsters to get involved with politics. But seriously, have you seen the bunch of old duffers that fill the House of Lords? I don't have the actual figures, but my guess is the average age of a Lord is probably about 80. If I were a teenager stumbling across Baroness Hayman explaining how there are two houses of parliament, or Baroness Williams of Crosby describing how the Lords examine new bills coming their way, let alone Lord Tyler banging on about how important they are then the last thing I would want to do is get involved with politics.
