I never voted to spend the money, nor, come to that, to do anything alongside shrub.

There is even a mobile phone exclusion zone around the paranoid maniac. But arse kissers will be allowed in!

None of the last 10 US presidents have been allowed a full state visit here. I don't see why this one has been either. Now Reagan was a far better actor than shrub, so why he wasn't allowed one I have no idea!

Great time to cvommit a crime in the UK at present I spose. 1 in 9 plods guarding horticulture

We got to see the mayor of London state the visit will cost Londoners two pounds per person in extra taxes, money nobody had been asked if they wanted to spend. Then the man quipped most people would probably spend four pounds for Shrub NOT to come!

I must admit I laughed hearing that.
