Do they sing God Save the Queen in the house of commons?

/cause that's one saved farking queen

He has a flag, a uniform and a gameplan.

"I'm going to stand for something in about 10 years' time,"

I think that means he's ahead of every other politician on the planet.

 
zunkus 2009-02-08 10:00:54 AM  
Bravo sir.

 
Alphax 2009-02-08 10:03:40 AM  
That's cool. I've felt that his standups are both extremely funny and rather educational.

Fair play to the queen, she killed the crazy dog.

Good, anything to get him off standup.

There will have to be a new Totally Smashingly Awesome Don't You Agree party.

Maybe he should start small, like elective office in Burundi.

And this part is sadly true:
"I realised I didn't believe in God at all... you have to be with faith to get elected in America, but without faith to get elected in Europe." "

You can be pro-gun, anti-gun, pro-abortion, anti-abortion, pro-this, anti-that - but no one in America could get elected to national office if s/he publicly said, "I do not believe in (a) God. There are no supernatural beings."

i think that would dissapoint a lot of women that would want to have coffee with him.

He should start as Secretary of State for Creation and Destruction

"But with dogs, we do have "bad dog." Bad dog exists. "Bad dog! Bad dog! Stole a biscuit, bad dog!" The dog is saying, "Who are you to judge me? You human beings who've had genocide, war against people of different creeds, colors, religions, and I stole a biscuit?! Is that a crime? People of the world!"

"Well, if you put it that way, I think you've got a point. Have another biscuit, sorry."

/New policy, dogs run everything?

I've got a bad feeling about this thread, I don't think we're gonna make it

YES.

For fun, check out the ring tones maybe available in UK (or Europe) only. My favorite is not available any more, "get the fark up". (new window)

A road trip with him on the TomTom would be hilarious.

It is about time that a male-lesbian runs for public office.

 
Mr. Coffee Nerves [TotalFark] 2009-02-08 11:19:53 AM  
Eddie, you're British. Scale it back a little bit.

 
Cyborg77 2009-02-08 11:52:47 AM  
Will they give him a tray at the cafeteria?

 
todesesser 2009-02-08 11:59:34 AM  
Hell, I'd move to England just to vote for him.

 
CheetahOlivetti [TotalFark] 2009-02-08 12:04:36 PM  
The Force is quite strong with him.

 
whconner4 2009-02-08 12:10:28 PM  
How strong?

As strong as a small pony.

The thread was over until THIS:

Awesome.

I need help translating this bit FTFA:
until a girl asks him if he'd prefer a screw-off head or teapot arms. He opts for the head, and she warns him people would run away with it, . . .


I wonder if his first act will be to end that slapdash look the army uses?

Uh, death, please, no cake! Cake, cake, sorry.

And she'd have self-respect for the first time in her life.

Negotiations with the French government should go well:

"Oui, oui, c'est tres important. Mais! Le chat est sur la chaise; le souris est au dessous de la table, et le singe est sur la branche!"

Can we get Billy Connelly in there somewhere, if only for his idea about replacing the national anthem with the them tune to "The Archers."

Hell, why not just make a BBC show with that cast? I'm sure Hugh could fit a six episode run into his schedule.

Whilst I can see why you'd want Hugh for Health, I think Rick might be a better choice.

I for one would like a health service that is never gonna give me up, never gonna let me down, never gonna run around and desert me.
