Passing The Buck

Our politics is so broken!

A distinction of distinguishable,

delectable dichotomous

decisions were put before

parliament.

 

The good men and ladies

of the Commons looked

at one another

and all of Westminster froze.

 

"You expect us to

be responsible for the what's

and whys and wherefores?"

groaned a tired backbencher.

 

"Lets call South Carolina's

J. Strom Thurmond,

He will know how to make a filibuster

out of this". Croaked the Chief Secretary

to the Treasury.

 

"Oh to hell and back with that man

I know just what me must do."

replied the Chair

of the Parliamentary Committee

on Standards.

 

All at once,

in an unholy union,

and in unlikely unison,

a cry went up from

the government benches and

the opposition benches,

"Send it to the Lords!

Send it to the Lords!"

 

The ayes have it!

declared The Speaker.

A comedy of errors if ever there was one. And don't mention the Speaker. He needs to be knocked off his self built pedestal :) I will call this witty, not fun because I find the goings on in that place a bloody disgrace. There John, I even added a little rhyme for added value. Nicely penned.

Once a poetess always a poetess dear lady! I agree. Many thanks.

The funny thing about our governments today, they are not responsible for their mistakes and when voted out those leaders get a pension indexed for life after having done decades of damage. In other countries they would have been jailed or executed.

Oh I am excited about the executed bit Andrew! Great Idea. Many thanks.

The political stage often feels like a play of comedy and tragedy. I like the dramatic flair here.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Thank you Edie, our political mess is no joke though and it is not improving any time soon!

Was this Theresa May's resignation speech as written by the big B ?

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Now that has a ring of truth about it. So who are you rooting for?
