#1 ...ruled out holding a referendum...to give "more power to Parliament and the British people".

So far he's the odds-on favorite to win the Orwell Newspeak Award. The Brits may soon be wishing they had Tony back. BTW, that pic is just begging for a good caption. He looks seriously plastered...

#3 Sorry, Brits. You've had a good run but it's clear that now you're done. I still just don't understand how a group of people who saw off the Germans and the Japs could surrender to a bunch of unwashed camel herders, though. What happened to you?

#4 In a coup all laws are now null and void.

#9 John Major, without the zest for life, returned as a socialist.

#10 Brown certainly seems supremely fluent at mouthing all the Politically Correct Muslim appeasing bloviation that the EU holds in such high esteem.

#13 BigJim, its much worse than that. They don't even get to vote for PM. They just get stuck with one from the majority party. Parliamentary thingy. Its a many nuanceded procedure that's far too complicated for an American such as myself.
