Over two hundred years ago
It happened,
A Prime Minister was shot,
Assassinated in the Houses of Parliament.
Spencer Perceval went down in history,
Two things put him there.
He was the only assassinated
Prime Minister ever in the United Kingdom.
As he lay at deaths door
He said “I am dying”.
Those words are thought to be
The only true words ever said in Parliament
For over two hundred years.

I'm not so sure that they tell lies - they simply never tell the truth. Great read.
Ha! Too funny, GF.
Thanks Frank.
A strong commentary which, sadly, is generally true. I do sense a change however, a rejection of the old ways.
Erm, yes. Harold said the same as 1066. Why didn't I shut up? I just had to say 'Look up, Sir' and put my foot in it, didn't I?! ooh.

Well, there was that feisty MP at Parliament's opening. He made a joke to crack on with things, as the first Ascot race was 2.30pm. heehee.
Thanks ANDY for a very droll Political Poem ~ did you know that now 60% (and rising) of AMERICANS have no Faith in their President ~ makes one wonder how Grandma Hillary would be faring ! Please pray for Mother Theresa now she has got her deal with DUP ! For the CONS to get rid of her now would be adding Boris's insult to Cameron's injury. There are some honest MPS but alas they are greatly outnumbered in all Parties ! Please check my latest Developing Fusion on ANIMALS ~ Thanks B
