Topical One

[MIGHTYONE 309]

A motorist, on his way home from work in Westminster, came to a dead halt in

traffic, thinking to himself, "Wow! the traffic seems much worse than usual."

 

After a while, he noticed a police officer walking towards him, between the

lines of stopped traffic. He rolled down his window and said "Excuse me

officer, what's the hold-up please?"

 

The constable replied "It's the Prime Minister, Mr Tony Blair sir, he's very depressed & does not want to go on. He has stopped his car and is

threatening to douse himself with petrol and set himself on fire. He is protesting that nobody believes his stories; about why we went to war in

Iraq, that there is no pension crisis and no worsening economy. He doesn't

understand why the public doesn't believe that all the stealth taxes are so necessary and that our education is first-class. He's screaming that the

NHS is safe in his hands, that the immigration policies are working well, that he is not George Dubbya's lapdog, the proposed tax cuts will not help only his wealthy and titled cronies and that his recent chairmanship of the EU

has only resulted in more power being handed to the French.....

 

So, we're taking up a collection for him"

 

Thoughtfully, the motorist asked "How much have you collected so far?"

 

The officer replies "Welll sir, about forty gallons up to now, but a lot of people are still syphoning."
