Clegg should not be in a position to run country

I WAS appalled to see the carve-up of the Tory manifesto resulting from the Lib Dem coalition.

The pledges in the original manifesto have been toned down or scrubbed altogether, yet those were the pledges upon which votes were cast. Given the election result, it would have been appropriate to offer Mr Clegg a lesser policy-making ministry but certainly not the post of Deputy Prime Minister.

No one seems to have cottoned on to the fact that, in the absence of David Cameron from Downing Street for whatever reason, the country will be left with a member of a minority party at the helm, a situation that should never have been allowed to happen.

The Curator writes: Allow me to share with you a scene from 10 Downing Street which occurred this very morning.


DAVID CAMERON:
Yes, removal man, put the pot plant over there, just next to the blow-up Douglas Hurd sex doll and the book of Evil Secret Plans.


SAMANTHA CAMERON:
Phew, this moving in to 10 Downing Street lark is a right pain in the bottom. And I'm heavy with child, so it's even more difficult. I'm just going to have a sit down and read the letters page of the Daily Express... Fucking hell, Dave! Look at this!


DAVID CAMERON:
What is it, my very posh, if tattooed and coarse, wife?


SAMANTHA CAMERON:
E Woodford of Hemel Hempstead says that if you're out of the country, Nick Clegg will be in charge.


DAVID CAMERON:
Margaret's cock! I had never cottoned on to that fact.
