They took Sarah Teather, the Minister of State for Children and Families, to Birmingham, and let her off the leash.

Ouch?

Give them enough rope, etc.

It’s about time that these bloody people made their minds up; “Are we part
of the government, or part of the opposition?”

Was this Britain’s Got Talent? If so, it hasn’t. If she was telling jokes I
didn’t get them at all. Perhaps if she told them whilst swallowing a sword it
would be funnier.

Where’s Peter Lilley when you need him?

Ed P September 19, 2011 at 16:44

On a more serious note, do you think the Minister of State for Children
& Families should be making jokes in public which include references to
violence & drugs?

I’ll leave that one for Nick Clegg.

Which? The violence or the drugs or maybe he likes both.

To quote Derek and Clive…

“you could be on the radio with that type of stuff”

She has a good face for radio too.

That was excruciating.

That is all.

At least she makes Jo Brand look funny.

How do you make a Li Dem laugh?

No, I don’t know, either….

I’d suggest that she sticks to her day job but as she is an MP on the
government payroll I’m not so sure that that is a good idea…

That’s a Lib Dem being humorous, is it?

Ed P September 19, 2011 at 12:37

Cringe!

It’s the way you tell ‘em (or not in her case)
