A motorist, on his way home from work in Westminster came to a dead
halt in traffic and thought to himself, "Wow, this traffic seems
worse than usual. After a short while, he noticed a Police Officer
walking towards him, between the lines of stopped cars. He rolled
down his window and asked, "Officer, what's the hold up?"

The Constable replied: - "Tony Blair is depressed, so he stopped his
car and is threatening to douse himself with petrol and set himself
on fire.

He says no one believes his stories about why we went to war in Iraq,

or that there is no pensions crisis, or the worsening economy, or
that constant adding of stealth taxes, or that his education reforms
are going to do any good, or that the health service is safe in his
hands, or that immigration is under control, or that he's not George
Bush's lapdog, or that his Party's proposed tax cuts won't help
anyone except his wealthy friends, or that his chairmanship of the
European Community hasn't just led to more power being surrendered to
the French ......

So we're taking up a collection for him. Thoughtfully, the man asks,
"How much have you got so far?"

The Officer replies, "About forty gallons, but a lot of people are
still siphoning........

The French have no power, far too busy striking and selling arms to Iran & Iraq and then trying, fuck knows why, to gain the moral high ground
