The main political parties are rubbish and the BNP are loons. Should the army run the country for a bit? They seem like incorruptible sorts who can run a show in times of crisis and have some bright chaps in there at the top too (think Sanderhust and 'The apprentice'). Or has the military brass been infiltrated and corrupted by gongs and politics much like the Police? I'm not talking about a revolution or a military coup, I mean a democratically elected Army takeover that after 4 years could be booted out by force if necessary.

No, unless they introduce conscription for chavs.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishing -
Some think it has already happened: John Wick & The Very British Revolution or Have We Had A Military Coup And Nobody Noticed ?How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Can we go to war with Spain instead, please?
And how about we put The Sun in charge? "I don't know her politics but she's got a grip on the big issues."Drivelling in TPD is not a mental health issue. We're just community blogging, that's all.
