Public Hanging

Signpost not far from our village

Woman blames immigrants for local problems, & not really interested in other views...sounds like a bigot to me.

Why apologise Gordon Brown ?


Here's a short verse on the current peculiar situation - our Kingdom on the cusp of an allegedly significant development:

United Kingdom Menopause

I really don't know why
they're hanging Gordon out to dry
we must be going through the change
hot flushes, and just feeling strange


View towards Hanging Grimston via magical gated road (Pictures taken 28 April, 2010 on another motorcycle excursion)



Other comments overheard from political candidates: (About a larger lady in Cleckheaton) 'She doesn't sweat much for a fat lass.'

(On seeing a smoker in Sidcup) 'I haven't had a fag since public school.'

(Visiting an animal shelter) 'The wife's never keen to do it dog-style, but I can always employ a researcher.'

(Giving a lecture to drama students) 'Life is not a rehearsal.'

Couldn't agree more. I would have called her a bigot to her face ..... probably why I shouldn't get into politics ;o)

You might be ideal in politics, CL ! Just what we need.

Ha ha :o) Well when I'm PM you can be my deputy. We'll sort this country out with good old-fashioned plain speaking and common sense!

The villager: said...

Excellent idea !

I do feel sorry for Gordon but it was very very sloppy of someone not to remove the microphone and for him not to check it was off before he spoke.

It was very unprofessional to be caught out like that.

I know they all do it but that's one thing, being caught out is another. So stupid.

He can't afford to lose any votes at the moment.

WE had lots of gated roads in Wales. It got a bit annoying having to keep hopping in and out of the car opening and closing them!!

The villager: said...

The gated roads of Wales sound inspiring, RB, but could be annoying if too many.

Gordon should have simply explained why the woman was bigoted.

Or maybe it’s because the twit
Turned out to be a hypocrite
Temper, mood swings, for all to see
Perhaps he needs some HRT

The villager: said...

You might be right, Tom !

I have to say it even made the news here! Must have been a slow day for our Journo's. However, I don't see how anyone could disagree with him, sloppy tho' agreed there RB, I can be your foreign correspondent when you get in the hot seat!

I'm sure there are more important happenings in New Zealand, Sag.
