Oh Dear, What can the matter be?
All the passengers sat on the lavatory
So Jezza demonstrates class solidarity
Sitting like us the floor.
So not for Jezza a First Class upgrading
This ordinary bloke is out Party crusading
But, dear, oh dear, his halo starts fading
As soon as the filming’s been done.
Blairites Wrong again. Check your f.a.c.t.s.?
Harry, the press conference brought to mind Shakespeare, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks".
John,
The funniest was his angry embarrassment at being caught taking part in a publicity `stunt`.
It was as though the Bishop of pure virgin socialism was sniffing at the mere suggestion that he would sink to such a level.
Working the spin, Tommy. Busted.
Before my time, I'm afraid, MC. You may well be right. I've always felt, though, that there are some functions too strategic to leave in private hands. The railways is one, energy another, banking, the armed forces obviously.
One aspect of UK railway history that still has me a little
circumspect about "public ownership" is that when this
great enterprise began in this country, the various
companies competed with each other to offer the best
service and that was surely a laudable object. There
was a disciplined pride in "belonging" to these outfits
- combined with a commendable employee-orientated
work contract - that aimed for quality in service and
appearance. Whilst there may have been no Health and
Safety legislation in those days, it was the case that
railway employees who suffered work-related afflictions
were allocated other jobs in-house to continue earning
and to achieving a pension...well ahead of the workplace
practice of the time. Jobs on the railways were highly
regarded and sought after as a result.
"Sorry Lawrences" check the details for accuracy. Sigh (hahaha)?
Thanks for your thoughts, guys.
I am sure there are countless overcrowded trains, Lancs, and I support the public ownership of the railways. But the song is really about a saint getting caught with his trousers down.
Graham - as my old boss used to say, "their fucking brains must be painted on". (Once more into the breach...).
Yes, MC, he wasn't a happy bunny in that interview, was he?
Ouch! Short and sweet? Perhaps more "sweet and sour"
and no less entertaining for that!
The reaction when pushed by the Sky reporter about the
incident at that NHS orientated press conference was
not well judged by the other JC who, in retrospect, could
have compared his alleged seat-less predicament with the
bed shortage and corridor queues they keep saying affect the Health Service.
Jezza needs slicker PR people to take on Branson. Just a pity he didn't pick a busier train.
Well here we go again JC. At least the Arse have started badly.

Tommy - you don't need to defend his every fart to be a supporter; he's a politician not a saint.
