First that #@&%$ Oliver, now Jade Goody

Yes, Z list celebrity, Big Brother contestant Jade Goody fancies being Prime Minister. Well, if John Prescott can be Deputy PM...

This is her entire manifesto:

""If I was in charge of this country I would make sure that sanitary towels were free for all women, and that anyone over 50 lived rent-free. As they’ve worked most of their lives for this country, old people should be able to sit back and enjoy their rest of their lives without having to worry about bills. So vote for me and I’ll make you proud of this country!"

A source close to Jade said: "At the moment she is not sure that she will run at the next election. "But if the public were enthusiastic, it could become a real life version of The Amazing Mrs Pritchard – the BBC telly drama where a normal mum gets the top job."


Sigh. Should this happen, I expect we can count on her being too stupid to find her way to Parliament, thus limiting her scope for doing damage. I rather fancy renting a house in The Boltons, and could then make an enormous profit sub-letting it.

May I have the attic?
I am very quiet the only noises I make being the tapping of a keyboard and the occasional (well quite frequent actually) "thunk" of a cork being extracted. Non smoker, no pets, have always fancied living in Chelsea.

You sound quite the model tenant. No swearing at the TV when certain politicians appear?

How about this one? A snip at seven and a half large per week for three bedrooms.

I think I could just about afford to starve to death in the gutter.
London is jaw dropingly expensive, I wouldn't mind so much if it was nice. A couple of years ago I had the mad idea of starting a security company I have walked every "desirable" square and road in London (plus Hampstead) it used to baffle me why people would pay so much to live in such tatty dirty places, the Blairs being a prime example.Eton ,sq the be all and end all is just a thoroughfare. some friends of my mother recently bought a mews nearby £ 3 million, for what is after all a stable.

she has got big tits

Mr. Mortice makes a valid point.

Not really /the/ qualification for skilled leadership though, is it chaps?

And she is more deserving of derision than Patricia (Poopy) Hewitt, Tessa (Who Wants A Casino Concession?) Jowell, Margaret (I Was A Bit Shakey as Foreign Secretary at First, But Now I've Got The Bit Between My Teeth) Becket, John (Need I Say More?) Prescott how? They're all old Trots, Marxists and class warriors who held the faith right through middle age and older and this girl is no more stupid than they are.

As an aside, I rather hope Saira Khan goes into politics. As they say in the American south, 'She's a pistol'.

V - I was getting a bit worried that you have been so quiet today - felt I was letting the side down if I wasn't prompting you to comment.

Meanwhile, back at the plot, you may well be right, but hunting sheep with a 12 gauge is just so tempting sometimes.

Croydonian, thanks for your courteous words, but I have a lot to do, you know, no matter how congenial this blog is!

A nous moutons! Not only do I think and hope that Saira Khan goes into politics, but this gal would not need any oily, undemocratic 'A' list discrimination and pampering in self-promotion. She's got what it takes to get selected under her own steam, and she's got what it takes to advance in politics.

I don't particularly like her personna, but I think she's a go-er.

have to say there verity that I think you're right.DC has it so wrong with the a-list.he's alienated some of the membership-I won't vote for him-and he's going to load parliament with some pretty inept people for possibly 30 years..He has no idea.  



Blogger Rigger Mortice said... 7:28 am

I meant you were righht about saira khan.That wilfred emmanuel jones is the business too.they've both had experience of life in the r3eal world and that's what we need.

Who's "that Wilfred Emmanuel Jones" then? Did you have him in the back of your cab once?

I have a sinking feeling that Saira Khan's a socialist - but you never know. Whatever, she's noisy and opinionated and doesn't back down. It would be refreshing to have someone genuinely confrontational in the H of C. She is also a genuinely moderate muslim in that she goes out for bevvies with the girls, wears smart clothes, hairdos and make-up and she's fizzing with ideas and energy. I read that she shouted at a bunch of Pakistani demonstrators, "Why don't you go back to Saudi Arabia then?" I think she'd be a real addition to Westminster.

Saira Khan writes for that respulsive rag the Daily Mirror, so I think we can guess which we she swings, politically speaking.

Wilfred Emmanuel Jones is a farmer and entrepreneur. Inteview with him here, and his own website here.

Croydonian - Saira Khan is a self-publicist and would write for anyone who would give her a voice. As you are aware, politics makes some pretty strange bedfellows.  



Anonymous Anonymous said... 4:49 pm

Well, Croydonian, I went to The Mirror and read her latest piece. It's not well-written, but it's not bad. And she thinks along the right lines:
