    Aye X

    One of the very few board members who truely has a grasp of realpolitic.

    Vintage stuff there , of course the actual truth is at best irrelevant in contemporary politics.


    Sadly the only politician that I know, my old school friend Dr Liam Fox, is boringly free form a healthy level of vice which probably explains why he didnt beat Cannabis Cameron, had Liam followed my example at school and got into some pot smoking and brushes with the law etc he would have won Im sure.

    At school he didnt even smoke ciggies and the nearest act to vice I can think of during his school days would be that I lent him a copy of Bowies Diamond Dogs back in 1978.

    For those who are interested in such trivia his favorite Bowie album is Station to Station.

    Once the Torys gain power I fully expect to be offered the post as the Minister of Truth.

    <humour off> no I meant Scottish. I'd like to say that we're not all like Brown etc, but I'm afraid I think that both his good and his bad qualities are probably as Scottish as his accent.

    Blair however is something different. Went to school in Scotland? Well no, went to school in a sort of extra-territorial upper-class bubble. Come th think of it that's where he's stayed.

    So what's wrong with that? I am at least one of those things too. I won't say which but if you insinuate that it's "bent" I'll shove your xog right up yer goth ya wee southern bampot....
    ahem, excuse me.

    Anyway, if he's bent and a father, that would indeed make him a lying bastard I suppose.

    Consider it done, Oh Great One.

    And consider my humble apology a grovelling one. Won't happen again.

    There are 646 MPs. 535 relates to the members of the US Congress (as I think Expat has already pointed out).

    Still, nice try.

    The BBC
    The Democrat Party
    The Republican party
    The UN

    oh, come on Zathras, you'll have to give us more of a clue.
