Actually too many people are hogging all the good lynching, and a segment of the population has been disenfranchised as a result. This has lead to the demand for a catch-and-release culture.

Re: Tory policy in a nutshell

Then they for sudden joy did weep,
And I for sorrow sung,
That such a king should play bo-peep,
And go the fools among.
Prithee, nuncle, keep a schoolmaster that can teach
thy fool to lie: I would fain learn to lie.

Gove the Twat does it again.
Michael Gove, the loathsome slug of an Education Minister (no sitting on the fence here!) has suggested that to mark the Queen's coming diamond jubilee she should have a new Royal Yacht as a gift from the nation. What a total twat. Here's the BBC's version from: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-16574257
New yacht for Queen's jubilee, suggests Michael Gove
Education Secretary Michael Gove has suggested the Queen should be given a new royal yacht to mark her Diamond Jubilee.
The cabinet minister made the proposal in a letter to Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt, obtained by the Guardian.
He said the Queen's "highly significant contribution" to Britain and the Commonwealth should be recognised with a "lasting legacy".
Labour said the idea showed Mr Gove was "out of touch".
Mr Gove wrote: "In spite, and perhaps because of the austere times, the celebration should go beyond those of previous jubilees and mark the greater achievement that the diamond anniversary represents.
"Events such as proms and the party at the palace organised for the diamond jubilee, and street parties, although excellent, are transient.
"It would be appropriate to do something that will mark the significance of this occasion with fitting ceremony.
When school budgets are being slashed, parents will be wondering how Gove came even to suggest this idea”
Tom Watson Labour Party deputy chairman
"My suggestion would be a gift from the nation to her majesty; thinking about David Willetts's excellent suggestion of a royal yacht, and something tangible to commemorate this momentous occasion."
The last royal yacht, Britannia, served the Queen for 44 years, carrying her and the Royal Family on 968 official voyages before being taken out of service in 1997.
The ship is now a tourist attraction in Edinburgh and is currently in dry dock undergoing repairs.
In his letter, Mr Gove also said the Diamond Jubilee celebrations should not be outshone by the London Olympic Games.
"The diamond jubilee must not be overshadowed by the Olympic Games, but form an integral part of this great year for our country," he said.
'Scarce resources'
Labour Party deputy chairman Tom Watson said: "We're all looking forward to the Diamond Jubilee. The significance of the occasion should be celebrated across the country.
Deputy PM Nick Clegg says he suspects the public would object to the idea of a new royal yacht
"But Michael Gove has shown he is out of touch with this proposal. When school budgets are being slashed, parents will be wondering how Gove came even to suggest this idea. This is not the time to spend £60m on a yacht."
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said he did not agree with the idea of the taxpayer funding a new royal yacht.
"I think most people in the country would think the Diamond Jubilee is a wonderful occasion for us to celebrate together as a community and as a nation.
"But I suspect most people in the country would think that given there's very little money around, this probably wouldn't be at the top of their list of priorities for the use of scarce public resources."
A spokesman for Mr Gove said the government did not comment on leaked documents.
A Department for Culture, Media and Sport spokesman said: "The Diamond Jubilee will be an extraordinary occasion with communities across Britain, the Commonwealth and the world coming together to celebrate this landmark and pay tribute to Her Majesty the Queen.
"However from the outset, the Palace has been clear that the Diamond Jubilee celebrations should reflect the current economic climate."

Well, the Chancellor is out in China, begging for change, maybe he can persuade Beijing to give the Queen a yacht.

I'll give the queen a yacht if if you give me the Exchequer...
Not specifying whether said yacht won't come laden with a few tons of cyclonite and a remotely controlled igniting device.

Re: Gove the Twat does it again.
I'm sorry, guys, I'm not proud of myself, but when I look at or listen to Michael Gove I get the same kind of feeling in my gorge as I get when I lift a big stone in the garden and find slimy things underneath it. I do realise this is unkind to the slimy things.
Pray, do not mock me: I am a very foolish fond old man; And, to deal plainly, I fear I am not in my perfect mind.
Blah blah blah blah blah!
