Balls Makes His Move
I note that Gaby Hinsliff in The Observer says Ed Balls is 'a potential candidate' for Prime Minister. In fact, Balls is already well ahead with his preparations for power. 'Lord' Archer has agreed to be his Chancellor, Amanda Marcotte is coming over from the States as his internet adviser, John Prescott himself has agreed to take over at the Foreign Office and Balls's wife, Yvette Cooper, is going to knock the Home Office into shape. There is only one dream ticket and it's Balls.

A blog about, among other things, imaginary ideas - What ifs? and Imagine thats. What if photographs looked nothing like what we see with our eyes? Imagine that the Berlin Wall had never come down. What if we were the punchline of an interminable joke? All contributions welcome.
Presumably we will become an interesting laughing stock amongst the nations for having a Prime Minister Balls?
ReplyDeleteWill our association of balls with courage carry?
Oh how desparately childish of me
We'd probably make a good, in fact unbeatable laughing stock.
ReplyDeleteSid James as Foreign Secretary in a Ballsite Cabinet, calling in ambassadors' wives for a "dressing down" rather than the ambassadors. And Tommy Cooper as Chancellor giving his Budget speech. "Ladies and Gentlemen, I have with me an empty box, see. That's the National Savings in there." - MPs laugh nervously - "I will now close the box and abbrasheeshkebab!" - adjusts fez - "I said kedabbrababsheesh!" - opens box - "and ... there's nothing in it."
The Chancellor then sits down. At least it would be an honest assessment of current economic policy.
Excuse me, I'm off for an Ed.
ReplyDeleteyeah, Itchy Balls...
ReplyDeleteEduardo Cajones? I don't think he'll have much trouble with Johnny Foreigner.
