Was there a couple of years ago and could not believe the number of them, some even white I noticed. All with assault rifles I might add.
What does the milkman think of that I wonder, bet he could tell some stories like the rest of them. Will buy his memoirs when the statutory signature on the Officials Secrets Act runs out, Entitled " I delivered milk to Number 10 " by Benny Hill. JS

Quite possibly John I know one thing they won't vote to get rid of half of them and to be perfectly honest watching their behavior when you see televised Question Time you begin to wonder what we pay half of them for that is of course politicians of all parties and all persuasions
I understand you only have PM question time once a week, here it is every day the feral parliament sits and it goes for an hour.
How any work is done is beyond the ken of most, all they do is slag each other off.
Then we have the media, the newspaper journalists in particular lowest of the low, lower than a snake belly.
If you or I tell a lie we are in deep doo, doo, but not them, oh no they call it journalistic license.
Where do you get such a license, does Mary sell them I wonder.
You can see with prime minister's question time where the old Oxford and Cambridge graduates who have spent half their life in the debating Society succeed when they have somebody who has had less chance at an elite education they tend to round on them and use humour two defend any verbal attacks I must admit that some of them have absolutely fantastic verbal skills and when you consider some of the great statements the one that always comes out in my mind is were churchill was told by a lady MP that he were her husband she would put poison in his coffee to which he replied if she was his wife he would drink it . The trouble is we pay them to govern not to do stand-up comedy
We had back in the 90's a PM who was very good at that, he knew just how to bring someone down or how to get a laugh from them.
Two of his best were, taking the opposition leader to task when he asked when the next election would be and why he was so slow in announcing it.
His reply
'I want to do you slowly'
Then when he had a dislike for someone,
"You look like a shiver trying to find a spine to run up'.
Sadly now it is more a question of rude, crude insults.
Dennis Healey was particularly good at parliamentary put downs
Healey’s first law of politics: when you’re in a hole, stop digging.”
To a reporter in 2000:
A statesman is a dead politician. I am in the home of the living dead which is betwixt and between. The House of Lords.”
On Margaret Thatcher:
That bloody woman.”
On debating with Geoffrey Howe:
Like being savaged by a dead sheep.”
On John Prescott:
He has the face of a man who clubs baby seals.”
To a reporter in 1997:
Yes I have been on a diet, but not the Nigel Lawson one. I don’t want to look like death warmed up.”
