Worst. Protest. Ever.

Dumping horse manure on his garden. That'll tell him. Next week they plan to chop some logs, clean the windows and do a Sainsbury's run for him...

Slight return

So, Gordon, when you do this interview with the BBC about reform of the banking system, we need a soundbite that will really emphasise that we're looking forwards and moving on from the mistakes of the past.

So we all know the most popular e-petition on the Downing Street website is the one calling on the prime minister to resign, which 70,770 prime tits have signed while LOLing nearly as much as they did when they wrote 'Jedi' on their census forms eight years ago. And then went back to scattering exclamation marks liberally around their lives in an attempt to mask the pervading odour of wet dog and regret.

Do you think it will take him till 5 June 2010 to realise that no one else out there in the world thinks it would be a good idea to let him shag his auntie?

Arming Scouts though, that I could go for...
