We need more armed police to guard against outsurgents from Downing Street. Who wants to live in a world where civil servants are allowed to just casually stroll the streets like a contributing member of society? And can you imagine how the property prices would plummet if it became known that an MP was living in your neighbourhood?</p> <p>The lack of restrictions on politician's liberties is a shocking state of affairs. I say it's well beyond time that Downing Street was put under martial law! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=48431#post-139626 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 00:20:27 +0000 Martin Shuttlecock 139626@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Ah, I understand it now.

I presumed it would immediately trigger an obvious contrast between insurgents who try to force their way in – as opposed to outsurgents trying to force their way out.</p> <p>Which, coupled with Downing Street (big clue) I wrongly presumed would spark an immediate and witty connection to the story of the day and the Tory Chief Whip.</p> <p>So I also threw in firearms since everyone was going on about police carrying guns after the Manchester murders.</p> <p>I now feel suitably admonished by the ongoing silence of NB regulars - who all knew immediately that I'd written an absolute bummer but were far too polite to say so. And I promise I'll never do it again. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=48431#post-139456 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 06:34:03 +0000 arthurminnit 139456@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>oh stanley! what coruscating wit your headline holds! if only the rest of the semi-literates on here could see how monstrously funny your headline is, and award you five stars each, the world would be a better place!<br /> it is, quite honestly, the funniest thing i have ever read, and i now know that i can never match your level of humour, i will never again even attempt a funny submission on here, or on other, lesser sites.<br /> everyone else should pledge the same, we are clearly in the presence of a master of his craft, and one that is not too whiney when his outpourings don't receive mass adulation and sumptuous praise.<br /> i would, in conclusion, like to give you 5 stars, but do not feel worthy of besmirching your reputation by presuming to be able to judge your opus, so i won't.</p> <p>minnit, arthur. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=48431#post-139454 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 04:58:57 +0000 Martin Shuttlecock 139454@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>In deference to my mate, Dreary - not you, my friend Stan, I can only imagine that he'll wake up in the foulest of tempers, kick the cat, and throttle the canary. There's really no need for that. It's the stuff of the common playground during the war years. (Did I say 'war'?
