Other Business

Asked if the Prime Minister would make a full speech up when he was presented with the ‘East-West Statesman of the Decade Award’ on Wednesday, the PMOS said that the Prime Minister would naturally make a response, but he wouldn’t describe it as a full speech.

Asked who the Prime Minister would like to see face him at the dispatch box next Wednesday, David Davis or David Cameron, the PMOS asked for it to be recorded that at 11.20 the most hopeless question ever at lobby had been asked. Firstly he could not answer that question because he was a civil servant and, secondly, even if he could answer that question he wouldn’t because it would be stupid to do so.

Asked about parity between MPs and grade 3 civil servants pay, the PMOS said that was matter for the House of Commons.

The PMOS now regards himself as a Civil Servant. Presumably this is for pension purposes only. If the PMOS is a genuine Civil Servant then why is he spending his time trotting out Government (sorry, New Labour) propaganda?

The PMOS was aked what Blair’s view was, not what he thought about the question. A simple ‘no comment’ would have been sufficient, but once again the PMOS has put his mouth into motion before engaging his brain – assuming of course that he has one.

These people have all the intellectual abilities of an amoeba.
