No soon as I said it, the consequences of my action became apparent. Having announced a hope that rather than ban the burqa we should be seeking to ban Speaker Bercow, I sat down to watch the repeat of “Have I got News ….”. Horror of Horrors, there, sitting next to Paul Merton, was the absolute Horror of horrors, Nigel Farage. His appearance reminded me of his intention to stand against Bercow in the coming General Election. For those of you have been living on the Planet Zogg for the last six months, the fact that there will shortly be a General Election in the UK may come as a shock but a fact it is. Oblivious to the comments from Herr Hislop, Farage wobbled about like a 1980s far east derived musical children’s toy responding to any external sound with a spontaneous outpouring of his pre-recorded diatribes on immigration and EU waste, his face exploding in mirth with the opportunity given to him to broadcast his right wing views. The thought that Farage, who’s actions in Brussels have been no less embarrassing than the football louts of a couple of decades ago, should slip into Westminster through the main Parties following the custom and practice of not opposing the Speaker’s seat is truly worrying.
Perhaps we need people like Farage in the same way as, presumably, there is a need for fleas in the Great Architect’s game plan? But to give them anymore scope for self publicity is a dangerous move.
Hopefully, the Monster Raving Looney Party, or some other fringe party will take up the challenge in the Buckingham Constituency and ensure the removal of both Bercow and Farage. Or, perhaps, a more appropriate airing of a Bercow / Farage contest would be on Harry Hill’s TV Burp- “Fight”.
