Thread Name: BS: Politicians with a sense of humour
Subject: Politicians with a sense of humour
Some people say " never trust a politician who does not have a sense of humour" Personally I think that politicians with a sense of humour are the most dangerous Cllr

And from Mr Mcgrath of Harlow

Now that is an interesting observation by cllr.

Having a sense of humour, for example, makes Ann Widdicombe a much more appealing politician to people who disagree with her politics than Margaret Thatcher ever was. I suppose that might make her more dangerous in some circumstances. If Reagan and Bush junior hadn't had a sense of humour they'd probably never have been elected, and if the American voters hadn't had a sense of humour they'd never have elected them. (Well, in the case of Bush junior they didn't really, but that is another matter.)

All right I've started the thread comments anyone?
