The good thing about this is that this sort of attitude seems to be dying out with this generation. She’s clearly unaware that she’s being intolerant, and seems like a well meaning person, just living in a world that took bigotry for granted.

We all know that antiques are what is important in life. Look at Baroness Knight, a great antique herself.

Conservative peers make very good bigots who are hell bent on tying to ensure that equality is made as hard as possible. I would also like to point out I do not have any friends who are bigoted peers.
