This means hatching a plan with your neighbour to get your dogs to crap on another neighbours lawn is a conspiracy, whatever the merits or reasons for doing so (such as revenge for their cats digging up your vegetable patch and then crapping on it).
It could also include setting up meetings for your mate to make money, influence policy or something eminently dodgy when you are in a position of power. Most people would expect to be suspended when your employer says:
"serious mistakes were made in allowing the distinction between professional responsibilities and personal loyalties to be blurred - and this has clearly raised concerns about impropriety and potential conflicts of interest."
Hunting Political Conspirators Image Wikipedia |
Except when you are in government, because as No 10 have showed you can ignore all advice that your staff are dodgy as the day is long, because well, people trust you to happily lie on their behalf. Just ask Andy Coulsin.
I think it is about time the people took back the power. Inspired by Roseanne Barr's suggestion for the return of the guillotine for 'the worst of the worst' and because the "press pack has the scent of its quarry in its nostrils" I feel that we should bring back Fox Hunting, albeit in a different form.
"Snowy I can see the Pub from here" |
Although the Bliar government banned Fox Hunting in 2005, it remains legal in Northern Ireland, so no major changes are needed, it's all about reinterpretation of the law. As we have learnt as well, Islands are exempt from taxes most of the time so why not hunting? We could even hunt a few bankers for good measure which would be stupendously popular.
Therefore I propose that any politician found guilty of conspiracy shall be placed on Hayling Island or the Isle of Wight. Viewpoints could be set up at the Spinnaker Tower, bringing much needed investment to Portsmouth which lets face it is as close to a 3rd World Country as you can get in Southern England (Smiffy counts Wales as a Third World Country although the term forth world country could be more apt).
Big Brother has gone shit since all the celebrities left the house, so the nation could do with some recognisable faces getting torn off to cheer them up. Think of all the cute foxes it will save too.
