Comedians of Westminster

Posted on March 5th, 2013 by Wiggia

untitled-10Quote from Bernard Jenkins MP:

If we’re going to avoid an Italian situation where comedians start getting elected then the whole British political establishment has got to be forced to engage much more actively with what ordinary people are feeling”

He fails to realise that for many of us the HsoP are already stuffed with comedians.

    Unfortunately, they are of the “unfunny” variety. Like Dennis Norden

    With Doddy’s right-leaning politics and healthy attitude towards taxation he’d make a good PM. Speeches might go on for a while though…

    We might have been a lot better off with comedians running things.

    ‘Screaming’ Lord Sutch founded the Monster Raving Loony Party in 1983 and they were not so loony as you might think-

    Despite its satirical nature, some of the things that have featured in Loony manifestos have become law, such as being able to vote at 18, “passports for pets”, and all-day pub openings. Similarly, the outcry following Alan Hope’s appearance on the BBC’s Nationwide current affairs programme after he was elected – during which he mentioned that butter and milk surpluses were being dumped down abandoned mine shafts under European Community rules to maintain prices (something the media of the day had failed to expose) – resulted in the distribution of such surpluses to the needy or charities instead.

    Perhaps the Farage ought to come up with specific details (like the above milk and butter scandal) for a change instead of just ranting.

    makes you think……… :)
