The British nobility took a tough blow this week after a film purportedly showing Lord Sewel snorting coke with two London hookers emerged on Sunday.

This morning, Lord Sewel resigned from the House of Lords stating:

“The question of whether my behavior breached the Code of Conduct is important, but essentially technical.

“The bigger questions are whether my behavior is compatible with membership of the House of Lords and whether my continued membership would damage and undermine public confidence in the House of Lords.

“I believe the answer to both these questions means that I can best serve the House by leaving it.”

Footage obtained by The Sun allegedly shows Baron Sewel snorting a white powder through a 5-pound note off a prostitute’s breast whilst lounging at his Dolphin Square flat in Westminister, London.

Prime Minister David Cameron welcomed Lord Sewel’s decision to “absent himself” from the House of Lords, as Metropolitan Police launch an investigation into “allegations of drug-related offences involving a member of the House of Lords”.

‘Lord Coke’ is also pictured wearing an orange bra and leather jacket while reclining in a chair taking a drag from his cigarette.

To further enhance the Baron’s rebel image, he is heard in the video saying the Labour leadership race was “in a fucking mess,” and branding David Cameron “the most facile, superficial prime minsiter there’s ever been.”

He called Mayor of London Boris Johnson “a joke” and a “public school upper class twit,” then added “He plays well in London because they like a cheekie chappie. Can you present Boris Johnson in Preston, in Burnley, in Manchester? No, they just think he’s an asshole.”

He claimed that Tony Blair’s decision to go to war in Iraq was because “He fell in love with George Bush.”

On Monday, Baroness Boothroyd called on Lord Sewel’s resignation, saying he brought a “bad smell” to the House.

“He has been the bad apple in this barrel,” claims the Baroness. “We have been trying to uphold our standards. This doesn’t leave us with a very good smell. He has brought the House into some disrepute.”

The take away is this: One has to be wary, in our day and age, of covorting into the wee hours with the ladies of ill repute.

There may be, after all, a bug hidden in the koochi koo, and we don’t only mean the sexually transmitted type but also, the electronic transmitter.
