I have just spotted Lucidity's earlier headline on the same topic. I honestly didn't see it, not unless I wrote my sub after some kind of subliminal influence.</p> <p>Bollocks!! This place can be a minefield it would appear. </p> <p>No intention to nick. Honest squire. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=4111#post-11581 Sun, 09 May 2010 11:10:19 +0000 Duff 11581@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>An eighties children's TV show is set to make an amazing entry into the political arena, following the stalemate in the wake of the General Election. Lame-duck PM, Gordon Brown, has been reported as wishing to attempt to prop up his failing administration in a so-called Rainbow Coalition.</p> <p>The plan has seen mandarins in Whitehall thrown into complete panic as they try to establish whether there is anything within the constitution to allow such a move. Sir William Tomkins, a constitutional expert said last night. "Mr Brown has certainly thrown the cat among the pigeons with this move. I feel certain that it wouldn't be allowed, but up to this point we are unable to find anything that says he actually can't attempt to do it."</p> <p>Yesterday evening the press-pack and world media were treated to the rather odd sight of Geoffrey, Zippy, George and Bungle alighting from a limousine outside Number 10 to meet the PM, for what Downing St described as "Informal Discussions." It's understood that the four will return later today to continue the talks with a joint statement expected by 7.00PM this evening.</p> <p>Meanwhile all eyes will be on the City when the Stock Exchange opens tomorrow to see if Mr Brown's last-ditch, and some say increasingly desperate plan, will instill any confidence in the markets. None of the Rainbow stars has any previous track-record in fiscal stewardship and money analysts see the plan as a long shot with little or no chance of success. </p> <p>A source close to Geoffrey said that he was shocked to be playing such a pivotal role in the nation's future, but that he was delighted to be back in the spotlight and would not shirk from doing his duty for the country. </p>
