"Little Britain" and the International Situation
Surprising how many characters in the BBC comedy "Little Britain" seem to occur in real life.
e.g. "welfare state" scrounger and professional cretin Andy Pipkin and his incompetent but mainly well-meaning "carer" Lou. It should be pointed out that, in the UK the people at the bottom of the food chain are supposed to benefit from the welfare state, but very rarely do, but in the US, the people at the top end of the food chain are supposed to benefit, and invariably do. The is in line with the US being a Christian country which benfits from Pr 22:7 : The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. Compare with Bush (Andy) and Blair (Lou).
Andy: I wanna drop bombs on the Lebanon.
Lou: But Andy, you know that will cause death and suffering to countless millions, and mental torment to millions more.
Andy: Don't care! Wanna drop bombs on the Lebanon !
Lou: But Andy, if you do that your nurse Condoleeza won't be able to go to the Lebanon, so she won't be able to get you any sweets there.
Andy (fiercely): Don't care! Wanna drop bombs on the Lebanon !
Lou: (reluctantly) all right Andy, but just this once.
--------------------------------
or even
Andy: Yo, Lou! Wanna destroy the whole world !
Lou: But Andy, if you try to do that your friend Arnie will be annoyed and you don't want to annoy Robocop, do you, or he might stop your 'welfare benefit' from California.
Any: Don't care ! Wanna destroy the whole world !
and so it goes on.
-------------------------------
It would perhaps be presuming to point out the similarities between most women Labout MPs and a bizarre combination of tranvestite Emily after taking too many HRT tablets and an ageing Vicky Pollard.
The Vicky Pollard noises come out every time a women Labour MP is interviewed by the Press. I'm certainly glad, too, that when I was very young indeed my kindergarten school headmistress was at least not that bad.
Perhaps more seriously, Margaret Beckett did at least try a little bit to act for her constituency when she tried to stop the US murder planes for a short time, but maybe that was not what Tony and Rupert would have wanted , so for now she seems to have stopped. Jack Straw still seems to try to act for his constituency, at least, for right or wrong. But then so did Maggie Thatcher, and her constituency was big oil. And Rupert always acts for his constituency, which is Rupert.
