A lesson in how not to end leadership speculation

Mike, Brighton

Are you so sure Harperson does jokes? I'm more ready to believe that unless she's briefed she can't answer the question.
- Is grass green?
Er, let me read my notes, er er
- Do bears **** in the woods
Er, lets deal with the real issues facing us today.....

Liz Brown

perhaps if our Government Ministers did what they were elected to do, which is to GOVERN, rather than parrot what is written for them by unelected and vastly overpaid spin doctors (laughingly called special advisors0 there might just be a chance that things could get better. Oops, I forgot, we have a bunch of totally inept Ministers not one of who could earn a halfway decent living in the world in which the rest of us live

Ask a Silly Question

Well then, do bears **** in the woods ?

Get a Silly Answer

No, don't be ridiculous.

Why is it that potential MPs tell us how good they are and what they will do and how much better they will be than the last lot then employ hoards of consultants to tell them how do their jobs?

Keith

I'm absolutely sure that she's getting on with the job.. problem is she doesn't know what the job is. She is totally bereft of any fragment of common-sense or, more importantly, shame!

Ann

Looking flustered means she was not joking. And I agree, this bunch of incompetent, dumb Stalinist kommisars don't have a sense of humour.

David C

Perhaps it is all a cunning plan (although some say that Labour couldn't arrange satisfaction for a drunk in a bonded warehouse).
Labour is going to bore us all into voting for it at the next GE.
We will sit, steadily stupifying, as Labour conducts the unending non-debate about whether to despatch Brown beyond the outer darkness. Finally, at the last possible moment some hero will slay the serpent and Labour hope the sense of sheer head-banging relief will drive the electorate to place their 'X's in the box marked

Labour

Well it may be utter tosh but it makes more sense than Labour's actions to date.

It was 20 hours ago that I got round to watching Sarah Palin's address.

I now read the latest from Harridan.

The Almighty must have some sense of humour to have inflicted the last 11 years on Britain. Either that or we all did something very wrong in the early 1990s.

They will put Harpic in because they always copy the United States and they will think "the girls" would get along and could talk about knitting patterns. Sarah Palin would eat Harriet's lunch. If she agreed to see her. Which, I guarantee, she would not. She would assign a lackey.

But mark my words, as much as they loathe Governor Palin, they will copy the Americans. They always do.

Marian C

Harpic is incapable of doing jokes her brain can't function that fast!

Nicholas

Harriet Harmthenation, the barmiest in a box full of barmy old bats whom we have allowed to infest our seat of democracy.To reduce obesity, ObersturmBANfuhrer Harriet, why don't you propose making buying fast food a criminal offence? After all we must target the demand musn't we?

AuldCurmudgeon

She's making sure anybody who does go for it chooses her as deputy PM.
