Yes, this week the French will find out who is leading them to glory, climate change and baguettes for the next few years. Its been interesting reading. Of course, 4 candidates flourished from the start. Sarkozy and Bayrou are all well and good but it's the other two I'm interested in. Yes, if Segoline Royale won it would be their first woman president, 30 years after us. If they hadn't knocked out Le Pen (and good riddance), it would have been a facist president, again, 30 years after us Brits! Go Maggie Thatcher jokes! If only Mr Bean had got caught up in it. Well, we can only dream. Actually, there's a thought, he bears a strong resemblance to someone I know... that's it, Tony Blair ... Just me, okay.
Anyway, politics, and voting, is a bit of a sore spot with me. I mean, why do working class people vote Conservative. They don't like you! Even with David 'Call me Dave' Cameron, I can't think of any reason! Then there are coloured people who vote BNP. Well, I've nothing against that if you want to be chucked out the country, but sorry! Then there is the Monster Raving Loony Party. Politics is enough of a joke as it is without them coming along with there red-painted grey squirrels and 99p coins. By the way, have you thought of how much damage a 99p coin would actually do? What happens is, the shops give you the 1p change so you collect coppers and donate them to worthwhile charities (like Tescos, Selfridges and the window cleaner). Then they give you an extra 1p change which you can give to another worthwhile charity (Morrisons, Waterstones or the hairdressers). It makes sense!
To finish my quotes of the week:
Tony Blair: 'What's up George?'
Lord Levy: 'Be very, very quiet. I'm hunting peerages!'
Thank you very much!
