Can We Get Another Comedian To Do The Queens Speech?
Liberal leader, Nick Clegg has called for The Queens speech to be scrapped this year as it will be a totally pointless exercise given that the Labour legislative recommendations will be tossed in the bin once they’ve been given the boot at the next election.
However Gordon Brown hit back saying this will be one of his last opportunities to look really good before being given the boot. “Whilst I agree with the honourable gentleman, has it not always been the case that it’s a pointless exercise? Nobody listens to a word HRH is saying and nobody has followed up on the proposed legislation since Tony Blair came to power; but it keeps the ‘old girl’ in a job.”
“If we do have to sit though this in the knowledge that the Conservatives are to come to power, we will all need a good laugh, might I suggest that we ask Prince Phillip to do the speech! A few ‘gollywog’ and ‘jigger-boo’ jokes always go down well in the house” said Vince Cable of the Lib Dems.
His opposite, George Osborne commented that if a comedian was needed then anyone from the Liberals would be perfectly acceptable!
