AlanHo Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Britain is suffering a shortage of home grown clowns and acrobats, MPs on the home affairs committee have been told. Full story hereAbsolute rubbish - there are plenty of clowns in the Westminster circus. Plus some very good acrobats adept at dodging responsibility and sudden U turns.

andsome Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I have a nephew who earns his living as a clown, but he knows NOTHING about politics, the same as the Westminster bunch. He also does fire eating, and tours with a pop group as a supporting act. I believe their name is something like 'Take that'. He also sometimes performs lying on a bed of nails. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyWhirly Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I have a nephew who earns his living as a clown, but he knows NOTHING about politics, the same as the Westminster bunch.The only 2 MP's that I respect are Frank Field who rebelled against Gordon Brown's 10p tax legislation and Vince Cable who forecast the financial crisis years ago and went on to warn Gordon Brown that the UK was borrowing too much (both government and consumers) but Gordon Brown ignored him as he was quite content to rake in all the taxes from all this debt.Vince Cable also has a PHD in Economics and would do a much better job at running the UK economy than both Gordon Brown (when he was Chancellor) and Alistair Darling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
