When I'm Prime Minister...

Post by gridgway »

...I will make the following illegal...

Still using Covid as an excuse for being rather shite at customer service...

Like this

And Mrs Ridg is going to ban spelling mistakes - harsh, but fair

(ETA and rather ironic when your surname is Ridgway :lol: :lol: )

A maximum of four choices of everything in houses. 4 kitchens. 4 door handles. 4 floor colours. 4 tiles. Etc.

I could maybe be pushed to 6, but any more than that is pointless, overly time-consuming and stressful.

Obviously some stuff about helping poor people and forcing Mo Salah to sign for Tottenham but that could come later.

I think you could extend rust to all life choices! Careers, women, cars. Well maybe not cars!

I'm going to ban traffic lights on roundabouts and slip roads, porridge and coleslaw.
Then I will ban all 4x4 from urban areas, towns aren't muddy.

All domestic appliances will be sold solely in man-friendly format. No need for 23 different cycles on the washing machine. On, Off, whites, darks. Done!

Amen (actually on that note can I abolish religion whilst I'm at it?)

I'm also banning males over the age of 14 from wearing half mast trousers with no socks and pink suede loafers or mocassins. And don't get me started on those who leave the brand label on the sleeve of their suit jacket to show you what they are wearing.

Ok,if I became Prime Minister. I’ll throw a party at my house. But not actually a party, a business meeting which never happened. I’ll then take the p155 and insult the intelligence of the public whilst telling them to play their part and be safe

Actually, when I'm Prime Minister I will make it illegal to use untruths, lies, misleading or invented statistics as part of a campaign for election to public office, or in support of a referendum or other poll.......

but only after the coleslaw act has been passed.....
