Dodgy Lords and the Dhammapada

Back in July last year I mentioned that I have a program that displays a random quote from the Dhammapada on my desktop every time that I fire up my computer and that occasionally it comes up with one that is pertinent to current events, today's is Verse 306 which reads,

"Lying leads to sorrow.
Concealing wrong actions leads to sorrow.
These two acts of deceit
take beings to the same state of woe."

The previous one related to the debate on the future of the House of Lord's, and this one's also applicable to what's going on in the Lords right now!
