"UKIP climate change spokesman and deputy leader Viscount Monckton has been warned to stop calling himself a member of the House of Lords."
I don't know what they call this on the other side of the equator, but, in the Northern Hemisphere, it's called lying.
He's not claiming property rights, he is claiming to be a member of Parliament. I don't know where British law goes, beyond"stop it," but, were he an American claiming to be a member of the Senate, either here or abroad, he might well be guilty of criminal activity.
The crime is defined in 18 U.S. Code sec. 912 as follows:
"Sec. 912. - Officer or employee of the United States
Whoever falsely assumes or pretends to be an officer or employee acting under the authority of the United States or any department, agency or officer thereof, and acts as such, or in such pretended character demands or obtains any money, paper, document, or thing of value, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both"

Why do you defend lies? Why do you defend liars? Why do you claim a liar as one of your intellectual heroes? Have you no shame?
