First speaker forced out in over 300 years.

Some outside of the UK may not be too aware of all that has recently been revealed within the UK about Parliament and the expenses thereof.

So, in the endeavour to re-new and re-polish parliament, we're going to have ourselves a new speaker.

That's all well and good, but I'd rather have an election for a new government too... <_<

A new speaker would be a start if nothing else. Moreover, a shift in the current status quo would also be a good thing. Even though the The Daily Mail focussed more on the latest victor in a long line of tragic 'Reality Television' programmes, at least they captured some of the current Administrations failings - albeit in the form of a nursery book mixed with prose.

Jonathan Swift would be proud his ideal for satire and wit has endured so long.

Seriously -- as if staring at a twenty-something’s fun bags as she grins with her cosmetically enhanced smile or enduring some talentless idiot humiliate themselves in front of a nation in desperation for sympathy to quell their hitherto meaningless existence is going to shift our attention from a state of affairs sorry enough to make Lady Thatcher appear to have a halo? Get real.

-- Sorry… where was I..? Jordan proclaiming she’s not losing the plot since her break-up with Peter Andrea didn’t distract me in the slightest…

Ah yes – apologising. So, apologies to any Thatcherites. I guess now isn’t the time to disclose the true origin of mad cow disease…

But seriously… whimsical distractions to inoculate the masses to spawn future generations of intellectually turgid, apathetic and obese morons?

Pathos! How far we have fallen like our now-not-so puritan outcasts. You can wave as we pass you if you like. Liberty, freedom, justice and all that...

But seriously, yes. The election. Golden Brown (and for those not with it that’s a euphemism for Gordon Brown using The Stranglers song ‘Golden Brown’ – Strangler… – choking the life out the country like a Boa Constrictor) is as overdue an election as Network Rail is overdue a train to anywhere. By the end of year one it was evident – even to the visually impaired that Labour could not retain a coherent structure, let alone a power base – or the façade of one. An even bigger balls up in the bravado department. And all this was supposed to be temporary. Oh how I laugh. Peons.

So here’s the rub. When it comes to General Election time for all the United Kingdom citizens, just kick back, smoke some weed, have a Bud and look at the twenty-something’s fun bags. It’s a lot more interesting and satisfying.

Ooohhhh…. I think the OC’s on.
