I only have a part time job, so while having a ridiculously large amount of free time and desperately trying to better myself I have started to watch Prime Minister Questions. It is by far and away one of the most bizzare pieces of television I have ever watched. Take a look at this clip,
These people are supposed to be well educated, eloquent and have the countries best interests at heart and yet somebody trips up on their words and it brings the place down. I dread to think what would happen if somebody farted, absolute chaos probably. These are the people employed to represent us and our communities and yet they behave like school children, if I were the speaker i would make them write lines in silence about how it is rude to talk over people while they are speaking. On my first day of upper school when taking my GCSE's, a girl tripped head first down some stairs infront of our entire year and nobody laughed as hard as that and we were only 14!
This isn't a one off thing either, every time anybody speaks its met with cheers or boo's like its a pantomime. The saddest part of it all for me is that this really shows that none of these people have a sense of humour if that is the type of thing that gets them falling of their chair and throwing their hands in the air. I've seen funnier things on My Family and that show is awful.
A career in politics is not for me, I'm just too fucking funny.
Another example of ridiculous politicians...
ReplyDeleteKevin Brennan (Cardiff West) (Lab): Where will these unqualified teachers be required to teach? I have here the document containing the Government's list of places where they want free schools to be able to open without any planning permission. It includes hairdressers, travel agencies, sandwich bars, dry cleaners, undertakers and-you could not make this up, Mr Speaker-pet shops. Actually, the Secretary of State and the schools Minister, the hon. Member for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton (Mr Gibb), look a bit like the Pet Shop Boys, but does their vision of 21st century schools really consist of our children being educated in the abandoned premises of "Reptiles R Us"?
Michael Gove: I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for that well rehearsed question. I know that he is a brilliant musician, but in the words of the Pet Shop Boys, he's got the brains and I've got the looks, and together-I suspect-we could make lots of money.
Kirsty recommends this poem, from 1607, on the subject of parliament farts :P
ReplyDelete“The Censure of the Parliament Fart”
Never was bestowed such art
Upon the tuning of a Fart.
Downe came grave auntient Sir John Crooke
And redd his message in his booke.
Fearie well, Quoth Sir William Morris, Soe:
But Henry Ludlowes Tayle cry’d Noe.
Up starts one fuller of devotion
Then Eloquence; and said a very ill motion
Not soe neither quoth Sir Henry Jenkin
The Motion was good; but for the stincking
Well quoth Sir Henry Poole it was a bold tricke
To Fart in the nose of the bodie pollitique
Indeed I must confesse quoth Sir Edward Grevill
The matter of it selfe was somewhat uncivill
Thanke God quoth Sir Edward Hungerford
That this Fart proved not a Turdd
