Breaking news...Nanny's Smooth Talking Bar Steward, or as he is now rather affectionately known "The Serial Groper", John Prescott has been relieved of his orifice...sorry office.However, although he is now no longer in charge of the Orifice of The Deputy Prime Minister, Prescott will still be called Deputy Prime Minister.
Why?
If anyone can tell me what the Deputy Prime Minister without an orifice is meant to do, and why he is being paid to do it, I would be most obliged.
I have seen a report that Fungus has departed but nothing yet that relates to the FBS.
ReplyDeleteI watch in hope.
Ah, see aht you mean. FBS stays but without his own office.
ReplyDeleteWill he have to share?
"Dr" John Reid at the Home Office. Hmm.
And Jack the Lad moved from the Foreign Office. Well, that will stop him making a fool of himself with Miss Rice I guess. I wonder if Margaret Beckett will be seeking to build such a close relationship? You never know ...
Oh dear, 'Two Shags' will now have far more time on his hands. Wonder what he'll do with all that free time... hmm..!!
ReplyDeleteAs someone said this morning, this reshuffle is just like 'rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic'.
The idea of Mrs. Beckett being totally concealed surely offers many benefits to the country.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it?
How she is qualified for the Foriegn Office job is something that remains a mystery to me.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Prescott is New Labour's token prole. Blair can't get rid of him; Prescott is the adhesive bogey on the end of his index finger which, no matter how vigorously he shakes his hand, won't come off. (Except, perhaps, into Tracey.) For if Prescott goes, the last link with Old Labour is severed and the unions might cosy up to some other party, or at the very least curtail their funding.
ReplyDeleteAs for la Beckett, having comprehensively f*cked up at DEFRA she is now being promoted to the natural territory for incompetents and haters of this country -- the Foreign Office.
My God, what a bunch of third-raters, all taking their cue from a grinning cardboard cutout.
Y'know, does anyone else think that for 'Two Shags' to lose his ministry yet keep his ministerial trappings (such as his obscene salary, his two taxpayer funded luxury pads, his gas guzzling Jags etc) is an obscenity foisted onto you and I, the hard pressed UK taxpayers??
ReplyDeleteMy scalp crawls at this senseless waste of Government money. So much, then, for reducing public expenditure - yet again another example of the 'spin and deceit' of this corrupt shower we have in Government!!!
The AOL news headlines page is telling me the FBS is being probed by the police.
ReplyDeleteClearly the man is insatiable but I did not think he was that way inclined ...
Apparently it is something to do with having sex in his office ...
