So then the fat b'stard Two Jags Prescott, a couple of days before a General Election opens his big fat pie-eating gob and utters the immortal words (In a Northern Accent)

"We'll win the election and then make the Journey Tax law"

You should have seen the looks on the Labourites as they heard him...

so that would involve a scheme similar to Motorway Toll's in Europe but even more draconian knowing how badly the motorist/biker is taxed in the UK :(

Thoughts everyone ?

Where's the option for "Neither of these, erm, people"?



I think that Ian Hislop would be a fine PM.

Yeah but............ he's honest and tells things as they really are. Remember him getting slated for saying the Robert Maxwell was crook? When the truth came out he very politely refused the opportunity to gloat and say "I told you so". Great bloke.

Yeah, but you can't have power if you're honest and tell it how it is.

Ah but what about that punch? Make him PM and watch the other world leaders back down. He might even get the hump and smack George Bush if things worked out right :D

Why? An honest politician of pretty-much any political persuasion (other then extremists) would get my vote.

Yeah but most people wouldn't.

Imagine if the government told the truth about the ban on guns. "This isn't working, so the ban must be reviewed" - it would go down like a lead baloon, everyone would believe removing the ban would be a bad thing. Even if people were unsure, you'd imediately have the opposition saying this was completely wreckless and people would probably end up agreeing.

It's much easier for politicians to just lie.

James ! was already King of Scotland and that didnt stop him getting on the throne down here so I see on reason BC shouldnt do the same.We could have a coalition with Max Boyce to keep the Taffs happy.
