With only 649 seats out of 650 counted so far, and a hung parliament in Westminster, the result could be crucial. </p> <p>The Party Leaders are expected to visit the Isle of Wight shortly in a last-ditch attempt to secure the final seat in Parliament. Conservative Leader David Cameron is planning to visit the yachting capital of Cowes jointly with Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg, whilst former Labour Leader Gordon Brown is expected shortly in an old people’s home in Shanklin, accompanied by leadership contender David Miliband. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4063#post-11532 Sat, 08 May 2010 17:12:23 +0000 Ostsee 11532@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Angela Rippon as Minister for Dancing. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4063#post-11529 Sat, 08 May 2010 16:54:08 +0000 Ludicity 11529@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thanks people.

However, in the car home, he was clearly caught on mic saying, 'they should never have put me with that woman' before describing Her Majesty as ‘a bigoted monarch’.</p> <p>Dimbleby has made it clear that he will appoint a cabinet of ‘all the talents’ with the role of Home Secretary going to Nick Robinson, Chancellor Stephanie Flanders and Foreign Secretary John Simpson. Remaining members of the government will be chosen using the traditional method of pointing into the crowd and saying: ‘You Sir with the long hair, sorry Madam.’</p> <p>Some experts believe that Dimbleby could go on to form a permanent administration with the backing of Nick Clegg in a so-called ‘Dim-Dem Pact.’ However, such a deal will only be possible if both men can reach an agreement over who gets to wear the most lurid tie. </p> <p>Dimbleby is expected to move into Number 10 later today or just as soon as a 24-hour emergency locksmith can be found to open the door. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2542#post-7563 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 13:54:11 +0000 jp1885 7563@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Nice - here, have 5 magic beans </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2542#post-7556 Wed, 14 Apr 2010 13:35:53 +0000 Ludicity 7556@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Shadow Chancellor George Osborne has finally revealed how the Conservative Party can cut the deficit without raising taxes via a fully costed ‘Magic Money Tree’.</p> <p>Speaking at an election press conference an excited Mr Osborne said: “It looks just like a normal tree but instead of leaves it produces twenty pound notes.” Mr Osborne then produced a picture of a tree that he had drawn using special coloured pens. </p> <p>“I used to think that George Osborne was a blithering idiot,” confessed Lib Dem Treasury spokesman, Vince Cable, “but I have to say that the Magic Money Tree looks like the solution to all our problems.”</p> <p>The tree, which has been fully costed and independently verified by the Institute for Fiscal Studies, has received worldwide acclaim. “George Osborne has managed to completely transcend the old battle between Monetarism and Keynesianism” said Nobel Prize winning economist, Joseph Stiglitz, “the Magic Money Tree is a work of genius.”</p> <p>“I hate to admit this,” said Gordon Brown, “but George Osborne's Magic Money Tree is the answer. I have tried for many years to grow my own ‘Neo-Classical Endogenous Growth Tree’ but sadly it withered and died – probably because it wasn’t magic. For a while I experimented with a ‘Supply-Side Golden Goose’ but in the end we were forced to sell it to Cash4Gold." </p> <p>A minor note of caution was raised by economist Will Hutton: “This is undoubtedly a great idea but in order to grow a money tree you first need to plant a magic coin. Mr Osborne has yet to explain where this coin is coming from or how long it will take for it to grow into a fully fledged magic tree.”</p> <p>Mr Osborne rejected any criticism of his theory as sour grapes. “The important thing to remember is that this tree is magic,” he explained, “and I am pleased to say that we have the backing of over 60 of the country's leading witches and wizards. They all say that the Magic Money Tree is guaranteed to work so long as I water it every day with the tears of a unicorn.” </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=2422#post-7399 Tue, 13 Apr 2010 22:00:51 +0000 Scroat 7399@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! </p>
