Election fever

As we, here in Africa, are insulated from the UK election campaign, I feel that it is our duty to share with you at home a view from afar of the political leaders vying to take tea with Her Majesty the Queen.

It was Timothy, customer service manager from the bank, who summed it up best:
‘Is’, he asked, ‘this Nick Clegg as good as he seems, or is he just a  joke?’

Unable (or unwilling?) to defend a fellow Brit from such a penetrating question I found it my sad duty to respond that the British Barak Obama was indeed a joke.

‘Oh dear’ quoth the customer service manager.  ‘I don’t think that I would fancy voting for the other two’.

You should listen to Timothy. Both countries have endemic corruption (remember porn gate, moats and duck ponds) and both countries will have a hung (isn’t it a shame they haven’t made the schoolboy grammatical error) parliament. He knows what he is talking about.
