I'm so relieved to take a little vacation from the Trump thread to the Brexit thread where at least the villainy comes with some winsome silliness and funny costumes, instead of my country where everyone is a transparently Machiavellian Captain Planet villain who is also a full blown C-Spam mod.

In 1938, it was discovered that the Woolsack was, in fact, stuffed with horsehair. When the Woolsack was remade it was re-stuffed with wool from all over the Commonwealth as a symbol of unity. The Lord Speaker may speak from the Woolsack when speaking in his or her capacity as Speaker of the House, but must, if he or she seeks to debate, deliver his or her remarks either from the left side of the Woolsack, or from the normal seats of the Lords. In front of the Woolsack is an even larger cushion known as the Judges' Woolsack. During the State Opening of Parliament, the Judges' Woolsack was historically occupied by the Law Lords.

https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/lords/1986/jan/16/the-woolsackquote:My own understanding of the matter is rather a curious one. When my father occupied the Woolsack, our wise Victorian ancestors had it stuffed with horsehair. This was then thought to be inappropriate and the present arrangement, that it should be filled with wool, was in fact arrived at by general consent. I think those who made the latter arrangement did not quite understand that wool when sat on rapidly becomes felt. The article in question has at the moment two large grooves in it which slope outwards. quote:The Earl of Cork and Orrery My Lords, which Secretary of State holds the ultimate responsibility for wool gathering? very cool country

Also tangentially related to the woolsack:quote:Lords are getting their final chance on Tuesday night to vote on the government's plans to remove sitting and voting rights for peers who gained their place in the second chamber by inheritance. Prophetic
