Christmas Cards
On todays BBC Breakfast program there was an item showing the Christmas Cards sent out by the twonks that call themselves representatives of the people i.e. our politicians.
Now can you imagine in this so called season of goodwill etc. receiving a card from the Camerons, Osbornes, Millibands, Blairs et.al and opening it finding not a nice christmassy scene of snow, santa claus, robins etc. but a picture of above named with their families. Would make me want to puke, why do they think that beyond inflicting there snouts in trough/stupidity etc. that sending you a card with their grinning phizzoggs on will fill you with christmas joy...I think not.
Morning rant over, off to settle down to watch the sport on telly.

Out of anyones interest and for any crossword puzzlers it was a John Callcott Horsley who designed the first commercial Christmas Card in this country in 1843 and this is it...christmas card.jpg.
I have no idea if anyone depicted on the card is an MP but i doubt it.
