By all means policies such as the model Eric Pickles and Chris Christie for their policies, but not the waistline

Although their service in the trash Secretary Eric Pickles local government will always be admired, the conferences of the parties have shown their contribution treasure no less political humor. In the absence of Mr. Pickles is fair to say that the modern political discourse, which at the conference of conservatives, in particular, reads like Billy Bunter stories without the nice fat Remove or without Dudley Dursley Harry Potter, "Dudley was exercise very fat and hated. "

Think

ambitious Lib Dem Tim Farron claimed brines and seamless integration into a capricious departure of a coalition "divorce". "There are good news and bad news good news: we can get half of the new Ashcroft Bad Money:. We have pickles on the weekend!" The gag all, Farron confessed, was a pretext for Pickles joke. And hope, perhaps, was better Nick Clegg, who joked that the brine was "the only minister that can be detected on Google Earth."

For the Chancellor George Osborne, Mr Pickles always talk about this historic year with its line of memorable one. "Economic Adviser to Gordon Brown," reflects Osborne. "I'm not sure that I put on my resume if Ed Balls. It's like 'personal trainer Eric Pickles'."

Pause

joy.

"Although I must say that when it comes to pursuing a waste of the Board, one runs faster than our Eric."

Is it, as some experts have suggested joke Pickles, approach to plagiarism? In the speech at the conference last year, after alluding to the "long shadow" cast by "the big man on the side of the people," said David Cameron was Pickles "broke the sprint to the ground." Instead, we must take advantage of the subtle condescension of "our Eric" with the phrase that George Osborne, the heir of Frank Richards, evoked the true spirit of Greyfriars School. Here, the fans will remember Bunter, rich the origin of a new song Billy were deplorable exercises with obesity, inactivity and low cunning convicts. It may be possible that "our Eric" has become the guardian of the nation, because in the eyes of their more rich and sophisticated, both looks and sounds as such.

Even if one accepts that crimes against the pickles of local government are on a scale massive enough to justify almost any form of torture, including jokes about the eternal aspect of their supposed allies, one wonders how this new high level of inaccuracy will, for example, teachers in the post-Greyfriars, students who must care for overweight and thin, and without making jokes hilarious on the performance, personal trainers and Google Earth.

Many

next month will be spreading the message of the Week 2011 against bullying ". Think - words can hurt "If, fortunately, most children are not sufficiently AU fait with the politics of the coalition said his rival pro-bullying message - namely, find the nearest bastard son of fat and go for it lol - its fine, high-level education must be mocking all overweight people who are politically ambitious and unlike the constant personal humiliation. Against a penchant increasingly outside Westminster to prosecute those overweight for the problems caused by poor nutrition and eating disorders, the ministers of the coalition reserves the right to participate in the kind of old, teasing that saw Billy Bunter follow the path of Enid Blyton and Tintin in Gollie Congo.

• the contrary, anyone who can save the cost of a personal trainer and time to run around and finds himself in a moral and political party immediately. Perhaps even considered important to leadership. One day, at this rate, it will seem absurd that David Cameron, running the country instead of the much faster, higher and stronger Matt Roberts. About the only issue raised in favor, Ed Miliband, two weeks ago was that, unlike some of Ed Balls, a stranger, he had definitely lost weight, a process that involves, it was revealed, carbohydrates d a personal trainer and less.
• "Nobody ever said you look fat," she blushed, "just tell them what you're looking thin, once you've lost weight." Unless Eric Pickles. Now, as Cameron and Osborne, Nicolas Sarkozy and Boris Johnson, the best, Miliband fat reduction was exposing its management secured in shorts.

United States, the withdrawal of Chris Christie in the presidential race has already indicated that even in a country where nearly 34% of the population is obese, overweight is interpreted as a lack of discipline which contrasts with the balance and unforgivable self-control politicians who play ball games and get their wives to hit over the vegetables. According to this wisdom, but the vanity of a Blair or Cameron grooming is preferable to the evidence of inflation cakes.
