			<description>&#60;p&#62;We're just jockeying for position; your melancolic drivel shows scant erudition I'm afraid, and you can't wriggle out of it. By the way, that dress ages you terribly.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;5 for you, m'dear.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I've got it...drawing inspiration from decimation, Spartacus, the popularity of X-factor / big brother and the much lamented demise of the medieval public pillorying/stoning/hangings...lets agree that all MPs deserve to be executed. Starting with a clear, common sense principle like that should establish widespread common ground.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Lets also agree that MPs owe us a hell of a lot of money, either through their personal swindling or the consequences of their mismanagement of the national economy. Again, I expect few quibbles there.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Now, it merely remains to negotiate a TV deal, and invent 650 progressively more horrible ways to be put to death- which they will then have to compete to get through in reverse order.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Then, (and this is the cunning bit), we wait for them to repeal the HUman Rights legislation, and just as it goes through and is passed into statute...we do the Big Reveal.  We put the MPs in a bear pit, we list the ways of their death, and make them fight (or debate, if you prefer)  for their entitlement to an early offing.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Therefore, they will be constantly battling with each other (at televised weekly specials)to try to get the public to vote for them to be killed sooner and more pleasantly, with the full knowledge that ever increasingly horrible demises await them. For example, first ten- bullet to the back of the neck...move progressively onwards through sexual fetishism and beasting, mild torture, garrotting, short-drop hanging, on to beheading with a penknife, machete maceration; through to burning, poker up the arse, peeling and salting, tearing apart by wild voters, drawing and quartering, entrails burned in front of their eyes...until finally, the one the public wanted to keep in right until the end is lying splayed in a flaming eagle, suffocating on their own morcellised genitalia.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Its a clear ratings winner, the idea should syndicate around the world, it'll bring endemol-esque riches to the country and rid us of 650 power-crazed smug dollops of vermin.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Biscuits, I commend this motion to the house.
&#60;/p&#62;</description>

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I like that idea Ironduke.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;And runestone's 'aluminium' and I am somewhat drawn to using the implement in the manner of a snooker cue. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;It's a tad like 'Desert island discs'. Picking eight is not too much trouble; Pickles, Gove, Osborne, Clegg (obviously), Cameron, Huhne (but he'd probably send his wife instead)and Francis Smug-Maude. Not sure who else would squeeze into the top eight.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;But, when it comes to choosing just one .......  &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Right. Time for today's Largactil dose

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Perhaps we could have an implement appropriate to each individual, Cleudo style.&#60;/p&#62;

			<description>&#60;p&#62;to one of the sails of the windmill, by his heels...then you just have to hold the bat out in a bit of a gust, and he can smack his own head against it.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Repeatedly, with minimal effort input from you.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;A green beating.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;I couldn't possibly choose just one, so I'd line them up in a tightly-packed line, then hit Cameron first.&#60;br /&#62;
Hopefully I'd do it with sufficient force to create a 'Newton's Cradle' effect which would affect them all.

			<description>&#60;p&#62;Runestone - brilliant! Made me laugh out loud.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Dvo - I only know 2, Cameron and Osborne, so I guess it would have to be one of them, probably just whichever was closest.
