Embarrass your country here.

[shereads]

Not you, America; you're splendidly represented in several threads already. Let's give some other countries a turn.

Okay, other countries. March out your equivalent of You-Know-Who, give his propellor beanie a spin and prove that close cousins can interbreed with tragic consequences even outside the United States.

Please.

Our newest Dear Leader, excuse me, Prime Minister, is a fine piece of work.

So far, he's done two things.

Order no one in his caucus to talk to the press.

And promise tax cuts.

Apparently, he's a Trekkie as well.

A trekkie? That's the worst of all!

Well that sucks. And with Stewart Granger dead...

So much for Canada.

hey, there's lots of beavers, fetishists, and beaver fetishists-- what's to be embarrassed about?

hamsters, that's another story!

Cool. Has he worn a commander's uniform and pointed ears yet? I'd listen to this prime minister!

Since I'm not as politically savvy as other Litzens, there's nothing I can really say about Karamanlis except that he's funny to watch. Whether he's meeting with other EU leaders in Brussels, making a speech in Athens or meeting Bush at the White House, he always does something hilarious.

There's a weekly prime-time talk show/satire here that shows news clips that they've altered for comedic effect (addition of funny sounds, slow motion, etc.), and Karamanlis is heavily featured. A few months back, he and his wife visited Russia and he broke a chair after he sat in it! Time to hit the gym, Kosta...

Ok, our prime minister, sometimes referred to as you-know-who's lapdog, is a bit of a gnome.

While the cousin interbreeding thing remains unsubstantiated [he wasn't born in Tasmania from what I recall], guess what he did? You won't. He imposed a luxury tax. On tampons.

A necessity you say? Sexist perhaps? Discrimination? Hmm...

I'll say just two words... Tony Blair!


No fuck it make that four words... John Prescott!!


Sod it let's go the whole Hog... UKIP!!!



(Met Tony Blair the other month, he was visiting our college... shame about his arsehole job cos he's a really nice genuine bloke 'off camera')

 

[rgraham666]

Oh yes. I forgot something.

As you may or may not know, our military s involved in Afghanistan.

The U.S. is pulling out, we've moved to cover them and are now stationed in Kandahar, one of the more dangerous spots. As a result we've been losing people.

Our Dear Leader, I mean PM, has made it clear he is very unhappy with the media reporting on this. He won't lower the flags on Parliament Hill and he expressed great distaste over pictures of their bodies being bought back.

I didn't vote for his party. Some are good people but most are neo-Marxist ideologues. But I never expected him to go this low.

Scumbag.

Black Wednesday

Yesterday was a bad day for the ruling party in Westminster.

1.
The Home Secretary, responsible for prisons and immigration, had to admit that his department had lost nearly 1000 foreign criminals who were released from jail at the end of their sentences. Each one was supposed to be considered for deportation as 'undesirable'.

Some would not have been because their offences were minor and possibly non-recurring but the murderers, rapists and paedophiles should have been and weren't.

Worse? The Home Secretary had been warned THREE TIMES over the last year that this was happening. Since the first serious warning, 288 more were released without checks.

Only 100 or so have been found... For some of them, the Home Office doesn't even know what crime they committed. The number of foreign people in prison is a significant proportion of the UK's prison population and a contributory factor in their overcrowding.

2.
The Health Secretary, responsible for the National Health Service that has announced tens of thousands of job reductions, told the nurses that last year was the best ever... She was shouted at. Many thousands of nurses reaching qualified status in the next year will have no jobs to go to, despite being encouraged by the Health Secretary's department to get those qualifications and fund the study themselves at an average cost of ten thousand pounds, a substantial sum from a nurse's pay. Meanwhile the Health Department has been stripping third world English-speaking countries of qualified nurses to plug the holes.

Many junior doctors, after five years study at university, and a year postgraduate training, will not be able to complete their final year of postgraduate training because there is no money for their placements even though those junior doctors work up to 70 hours a week and are the backbone of many hospitals. Many will be tens of thousands of pounds in debt and unable to practise their career.

3. The Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott, has admitted a 2-year affair with one of his secretaries. The Deputy Prime Minister's wife is not amused.

There are local elections next week...

Oops!

You forgot UKIP.

 

[oggbashan]

You forgot UKIP.

I also forgot the Monster Raving Loony Party who get more votes locally than UKIP.

The Monster Raving Loonies manifesto seems sensible by comparison with the major parties.

Then there is the Natural Law Party who believe that the world's problems will be solved if we all practise Yogic flying.

Democracy is safe in the UK while the Loonies still exist.

The Easterners are getting desperate to maintain their power base!! The source of such notable fuck-ups as Cretien, Martin and, the star of the show, Trudeau ought to sit in the corner and shut up for a while and let the country get back in shape. Don't worry, sooner or later the liberals will get organized and pay off enough people to get back in power and spend whatever money and credibility the current government manages to build up.

 

[dr_mabeuse]

I understand that Ciccolini (sp?) The former Italian porn start and member of Italian parliament has offered to boff Osama Bin Ladin if he would just turn himself in.

A similar proposal by Lynn Cheney was vehemently rejected.

 

[dr_mabeuse]

Hey wait! What was the name of the King or President or whatever of Grenada that we overthrew under Regan?

He was cool. He had a flying saucer on their postage stamp and was always addressing the UN about the importance of contacting the Space Brothers. We need more politicians like him. If he's still alive.

You're from Alberta, aren't you?

I love the ignore function.

 

[Straight-8]

You're from Alberta, aren't you?

Wrong-o genius...but it's clear you're from Ontario - the rest of the country ought to be your colony!

Now, how do you work that ignore function? I figure as a Torontonian you ought to know - you've been doing it to the rest of the country for a century and a half.

Where have you been? This poor parrot has been fluttering around the room for months, looking for a place to sit.

That's the spirit! Exactly what I hoped this thread would produce. Thank you, Straight. Have you met Amicus and White Boy?

(You're not Amicus, are you? It would be extra embarrassing of one of ours passed himself off as someone else's embarrassment. )

They had a bunch of Cuban stooges, was my understanding. Commies. Hard to say. He was no better. All of them were Fidelistas.

There's no ellipses, so it can't be ami.

Damn good guess, though, Sher.

And don't forget that dachshund, Colin, from 'Blackadder.' Colin upholds democracy as the only voter in his whole rotten district. Or burrow. That rotten thing.

Probably just an angry Westerner. They must be pissed off to produce the likes of Preston Manning. You remember him, right, Rob? Not that I know much of his politics. Just got the impression from some of his speeches that he had a low opinion of Quebecois.

I don't know why he would go for that. He is counting on 72 virgins, remember?
