Be careful with token women. Heath gave a token woman the education portfolio and look how that turned out....

You can have a reshuffle whilst at the dispatch box, or pocket billiards as it's known. The late Cecil Parkinson (died just after Bowie and provided the soundtrack to Cameron's youth) told a story of when he returned to the front bench after being in purdah for having a kid with his secretary, he was talkin with his hand in his pocket. Dennis Skinner's voice floated across the house "stop playing with yourself." His speech was ruined because he started stuttering. The reason being the moral dilemma of if he keeps his hand in his pocket everyone would think he was playing with himself. If he took it out as per the order, it was proof he had been playing with himself.

This politics lark. Seems rather difficult. Shouldn't we stick to forming a religion? Far easier, no skill involved just gullible fodder and oh.. Yeah, I forgot. More dangerous than governments....
