    The Tory leader we should have had

    Found this on Vlad III, AKA Vlad the Impaler, probably inspiration for Dracula.

    Vlad Dracula was very concerned that all his subjects work and contribute to the common welfare. He once noticed that the poor, vagrants, beggars and cripples had become very numerous in his land. Consequently, he issued an invitation to all the poor and sick in Wallachia to come to Tirgoviste for a great feast, claiming that no one should go hungry in his land. As the poor and crippled arrived in the city they were ushered into a great hall where a fabulous feast was prepared for them. The guests ate and drank late into the night. Vlad himself then made an appearance and asked them, "What else do you desire? Do you want to be without cares, lacking nothing in this world?" When they responded positively Vlad ordered the hall boarded up and set on fire. None escaped the flames. Vlad explained his action to the boyars by claiming that he did this "in order that they represent no further burden to other men, and that no one will be poor in my realm."

        Isn't that the same chap who nailed a slipper to a bloke's forehead? I can just imagine all those chavs with their burberry permanently affixed with judicious use of a nail gun.

          Vlad the Impaler gets a really bad press, I blame his opponents for the nasty propoganda over his Pro-Turkish stance in the 'European Union' of that day.
