Tony Blair was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked the Prime Minister if he would like to lead the discussion on the word "tragedy".
So the illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a "tragedy".
One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field & a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a 'tragedy'".
"No," said Blair, "that would be an accident."
A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying fifty children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a Tragedy."
"I'm afraid not," explained the Prime Minister, "that's what we would call a great loss."
The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Tony searched the room.
"Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of Tragedy?"
Finally, at the back of the room, a small boy raised his hand...In a quiet voice he said: "If the Air plane carrying you and Mrs Blair was struck by a "friendly fire" missile & blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy."
"Fantastic!" exclaimed Tony Blair. "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be tragedy?"
"Well," says the boy "it has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be an accident either!"

There was a young man named Gordon who bought a donkey from an old farmer for £100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
When the farmer drove up the next day he says, "I am sorry but I have some bad news - the donkey is on my truck but he's dead!"
Gordon replied, "Well then, just give me my money back".
"I can't do that" replied the farmer, "I went out and spent it already."
Gordon said "Ok just unload the donkey anyway".
The farmer asked "What are you gonna do with a dead donkey?"
"I'll raffle him off" said Gordon.
The farmer exclaimed, "You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
But Gordon with a big smile on his face said, "Sure I can. Watch. Just don't tell anyone the donkey is dead."
A month later the farmer met up with Gordon and asked, "What happened to the dead donkey?"
Gordon said, "I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at £2.00 each and made a huge profit."
Totally amazed the farmer asked "Didn't anyone complain that you had stolen their money because you lied about the donkey being dead?"
To which Gordon replied, "The only one who found out about the donkey being dead was the raffle winner when he came to claim his prize. So I gave him his £2.00 back plus £200.00 extra which is double the going value of a dead donkey so he thought I was a great guy."
Wait for it
Gordon grew up and eventually became Chancellor of the Exchequer and no matter how many times he lied or how much money he stole from the British voters, as long as he gave them back some of the stolen money, most of them thought he was a great guy.
And that's politics!!!

How Much Would You Give?
A driver is stuck in a traffic jam on the motorway. Nothing is moving.
Suddenly a man knocks on the window. The driver rolls down his window and asks, "What's going on?"
"Terrorists down the road have kidnapped Tony Blair, John Prescott, Gordon Brown and Jack Straw.
They're asking for a £10 million ransom. Otherwise they're going to douse them with petrol and set them on fire.
We're going from car to car, taking up a collection."
The driver asks, "How much is everyone giving, on average?"
"Most people are giving about a gallon."

I reckon politicians have it easier than comedians. As any comic will tell you, people invariably come up to them and say "Hey, you're a comedian. Tell us a joke." But they never go up to a Government Minister and say "Hey, you're a Member of Government. Tell us a lie!"
Smart Stereo
A lady bought a brand-new, top-of-the-range BMW, but three days after she took delivery, she returned it to the dealer, complaining that she could not get the stereo to work.
"This is what we call a 'Smart Stereo', madam", explained the salesman. "You just tell it what you want to listen to, and it will play it for you. If you wnat to listen to Beethoven, just say 'Beethoven'. If you want the news, just say 'News'"
After trying it a few times the lady drove away delighted.
Some days later she was sitting in her car at a set of traffic lights. The lights changed to green and she started to pull away. Just then, a white van driven by a very fat man came screaming through the red light in his lane and straight in front of her. Breaking hard, she narrowly avoided hitting him.
"Fat moron!!" she yelled at the speeding van, whereupon a voice from the stereo announced; "There now follows a government statement from the Deputy Prime Minister, Mr John Prescott".

£100,000
There was this very
wealthy guy who was on his death bed and wanted to see if he could avoid
inheritance tax and take
his money with him. He asked his friend Tony Blair, his doctor and his
clergyman to each take an envelope he had prepared, each containing
£100,000 in cash, and put them in his coffin at the funeral.
The man died and each of
the men put the envelopes in the casket just before it was closed.
After the funeral the
three were driving from the graveyard and the clergyman suddenly
spouted, "I have a confession. I took part of the money from my envelope
and am going to use it on an addition to the church. I only put £80,000
in the envelope. I'm sure this good brother would understand"
Next the doctor said,
"Well I also have a confession, there is a machine that would have
diagnosed this man's illness had I only had it. It cost £50,000 and I
know he would have wanted me to be able to save other lives by buying
this machine. So I only put £50,000 in my envelope"
Tony Blair in total
disgust stated, "I can't believe you two, in my envelope I put a
personal check for the full £100,000!"

Episode 1

And at Stealth Tax Headquarters. |

Tony:
Where is Hemel Hempstead?
John: Who cares? Oh it’s in the country somewhere near
Watford and has a Conservative controlled council. It’s a Labour MP but
he’s Co-op really.
|
|

So, let’s take
their money and invest it somewhere else. If we nick their grants they
will have to put up council tax and the Tory councillors will get the
blame! |

Great idea! We can
close their hospital, and build a bigger one in Watford, transfer all
the college courses for their kids to Watford College. Then we can take
away their housing money so that they have to charge for car parking and
close things just to make ends meet. We can even reduce their police
officers and transfer them to a new area centre – in Watford
|

Ok John, those are great
ideas, let’s do them. Can we also consider closing their police station
and a few of their good schools? Did you say they are in the
countryside? Yes? OK, then let’s build loads of housing all over their
green fields. Oh!
Aren’t you thinking of buying a house around that area?
|

Yes,
in Watford.

Gordon Brown
A man was coming home from work one day. He noticed that there was a lot
more traffic than normal. As he got further up the road all of the traffic
had come to a halt. He saw a policeman coming towards his car, so he asked
him what was wrong. The cop said, "We are in a crisis situation. Gordon
Brown is in the road very upset. He does not have the £10 billion needed to
fill his black hole, and everyone hates him. He is threatening to douse
himself in petrol and start a fire." The man asked the police officer
exactly what he was doing there." The bobby said, " I feel sorry for the
Chancellor so I am going car to car asking for donations." The man asked,
"How much do you have so far?" The bobby replied, "Well as of right now only
99 litres, but many people are still siphoning as we speak!"

Tony Blair
Killed a pig
Tony Blair and his driver were going to Chequers and were passing a farm. A
pig jumped out in the road suddenly. The driver tried to get out of the way,
but he hit him. He went in the farm to explain what had happened. He came
out with a beer, a cigar, and a tons of money. Blair saw this and said, "My
God, what did you tell them?" The driver replied, "I told them that I'm Tony
Blair's driver and I just killed the pig."
Robots and IQ
A fellow came in for a drink and the robot asked him, 'What's your IQ?' The
man replied, '150.' So the robot proceeded to make conversation about
Quantum physics, string theory, atomic chemistry, and so on. The man
listened intently and thought, 'This is really cool.' The man decided to
test the robot. He walked out the bar, turned around, and came back in for
another drink.
Again, the robot asked him, 'What's your IQ?' The man responded, '100.' So
the robot started talking about football, day trading, and so on. The man
thought to himself, 'Wow, this is amazing.' The man went out and came back
in a third time.
As before, the robot asked him,'What's your IQ?' The man replied, '50.' The
robot then said, 'So, you gonna vote for Tony Blair again?'
The Blairs at dinner
Tony and Cherie are at a
restaurant. The waiter tells them tonight's special is chicken almandine and
fresh fish. "The chicken sounds good, I'll have that," Cherie says. The
waiter nods: "And the vegetable?" he asks.
"Oh, he'll have the fish," Cherie replies.
St. Peter
A New Labour strategist
dies and finds himself at the Pearly Gates. The strategist is taken inside
Heaven by St. Peter and given a guided tour. He's led into one huge room
that is full of millions of clocks, and he notices a clock with his name on
it that has stopped. St. Peter explains that everyone has a clock that
counts down the seconds of their life, and when someone dies, their clock
stops. All this fascinates the strategist but when he examines all of the
other clocks, he notices that some of the clocks' second hands are moving
faster than others. St. Peter explains that every time someone tells a lie,
which is a sin, they lose part of their life, so their clock's second hand
ends up moving faster. The New Labour strategist looks around but doesn't
see Tony Blair’s clock, so he asks St. Peter where it is. "Oh," answers St.
Peter, "that's being used as a ceiling fan."

Making the people
happy
Gordon Brown and the Blairs are flying on a Royal Flight. Tony looks at
Gordon, chuckles and says, "You know, I could throw a £100 note out the
window right now and make one person very happy."
Gordon shrugs his stiff shoulders and says, "Well, I could throw five £20
notes out the window and make 5 people very happy".
Cherie tosses her hair and says, "Of course, then, I could throw ten £10
bills out the window and make ten people very happy."
Leo rolls his eyes, looks at all of them and says, "I could throw all of you
out the window and make the whole country happy."
Puppy Love
Cherie Blair was on her
way somewhere when he came across a little boy selling puppies. She stops
and asks the boy "What kind of puppies are they?"
The boy replies, "They're New Labour puppies, Ma'am." With this she smiles
and walks off.
Later on that day she mentions to Tony about the boy and his puppies and
suggested that it might be nice to have a puppy around the house. The next
week Tony was on his way to Chequers and saw the boy and his puppies. He
stops and asks the boy, "What kind of puppies are they?" The boy replies,
"They're Conservative puppies, Sir."
"Conservative puppies?" Tony asked. "Last week you told my wife they were
New Labour puppies." The boy replied, "I know, Sir. But since then they
opened their eyes."
Saved from drowning
One day Tony Blair was
out jogging and accidentally fell from a ridge into a very cold river. Three
boys, playing along the river, saw the accident. Without a second thought,
they jumped in the water and dragged the wet Prime Minister out of the
river.
After cleaning up he said, "Boys, you saved the Prime Minister of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland today. You deserve a reward. You name it, I'll
give it to you."
The first boy said, "Please, I'd like a ticket to Disneyland!"
"I'll personally hand it to you," said Mr. Blair.
"I'd like a pair of Nike Air Turbos," the second boy said.
"I'll buy them myself and give them to you," said the grateful Blair.
"And I'd like a wheelchair with a stereo in it," said the third boy.
"I'll personally ... wait a second, son, you're not handicapped!"
"No -- but I will be when my dad finds out I saved you from drowning."

Blair Country
A man walked into a country pub and ordered a beer just as Tony Blair
appeared on the television. After a few sips, he looked up at the television
and mumbled, "Now, there's the biggest horse's ass I've ever seen." A
customer at the end of the bar quickly stood up, walked over to him, and
decked him. A few minutes later, as the man was finishing his beer, Cherie
Blaire appeared on the television. "She's a horse's ass too," the man said.
This time, a customer at the other end of the bar quickly stood up, walked
over to him, and knocked him off his stool. "Damn it!" the man said,
climbing back up to the bar. "This must be Blair country!" "Nope," the
bartender replied. "Horse country"

John Prescott
Good old Prescott!
Reminds me of the tale of the John Prescott whose car has crashed into a
lamp-post. A helpful passer-by calls the ambulance, and goes over to
talk to the poor Deputy Labour Leader trapped behind the steering wheel.
"Where are you bleeding from?" He asks. "I'm from bleeding Hull, ain't I?"
Fire!
Michael Howard, Charles Kennedy, and John Prescott were set to face a firing
squad in a small Central American country. Howard was the first one placed
against the wall and just before the order was given he yelled out,
"Earthquake!" The firing squad fell into a panic and he jumped over the wall
and escaped in the confusion.
Kennedy was the second one placed against the wall. The squad was
reassembled and Al pondered what he had just witnessed. Again before the
order was given Al yelled out, "Tornado!" Again the squad fell apart and he
slipped over the wall.
The last person, Prescott, was placed against the wall. He was thinking, "I
see the pattern here, just scream out something about a disaster and hop
over the wall." He confidently refused the blindfold as the firing squad was
reassembled. As the rifles were raised in his direction he grinned from ear
to ear and yelled, "Fire!"

The Labour Party
Are they dead?
The Labour Campaign bus is driving by a farm where a man lives alone. The
bus driver, caught up in the beautiful scenery, loses control and crashes
into the ditch. The man comes out and finding the politicians, buries them.
The next day, the police are at the farm questioning the man. "So you buried
all the Labour Cabinet?" asked the police officer. "Were they all dead?" To
which the man replied, "Some said they weren't, but you know how they lie."
Voting Labour
A Hemel school teacher was giving a lesson on politics to her class of 10
year olds. She asked them if there was an election tomorrow how many would
vote for Labour. Most of the class had no idea what she was talking
about and so raised their hands, except for one boy sitting at the back.
"So, Johnny, you won't be voting labour" she asked. "No Miss I will vote
Conservative" he replied. "And why is that" asked Teacher. "Well, my mum
votes Conservative and my dad votes conservative" he said.
Teacher was cross about this and said to Johnny "So if your mum was a moron
and your dad was an idiot what would that make you then?"
Johnny replied "A labour supporter"
Elections
can be very boring,
though. In one campaign meeting the candidate droned on and on, until
eventually someone in the audience threw a bottle at him. Unfortunately it
missed and hit the chairman -- who, as he sank dazed to the floor, was heard
to say: "Hit me again, I can still hear the bugger."

The Ant & the
Grasshopper
Classic Version
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house
and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he’s a fool
and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is
warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in
the cold.
Modern Version
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house
and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he’s a fool
and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the
shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the
ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and
starving. BBC, ITV and Sky show up to provide pictures of the shivering
grasshopper next to video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table
filled with food. Britain is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can it be
that, in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to
suffer so?
Then a representative of
the NAAGB (National Association of Green Bugs) shows up on ‘Newsnight’ and
charges the ant with “green bias,” and makes the case that the grasshopper
is the victim of 30 million years of greenism. Kermit the Frog appears on
Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when he sings “It’s Not Easy
Being Green.” Tony and Cherie Blair make a special guest appearance on the
BBC Evening News to tell a concerned interviewer that they will do
everything they can for the grasshopper who has been denied the prosperity
he deserves by those who benefited unfairly during the Thatcher summers.
Gordon Brown exclaims in
an interview with Jonathan Dimbleby that the ant has gotten rich off the
back of the grasshopper, and calls for an immediate tax hike on the ant to
make him pay his “fair share.” Finally, the EU drafts the “Economic Equity
and Anti-Greenism Act” retrospective to the beginning of the summer.
The ant fined for failing
to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay
his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the government. Cherie
gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit
against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of judges that Tony
appointed from a list of single-parent welfare moms who can only hear cases
on Thursday’s between 1:30 and 3pm when there are no talk shows scheduled.
The ant loses the case.
The story ends as we see
the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the
government house he’s in, which just happens to be the ant’s old house,
crumbles around him since he doesn’t know how to maintain it. The ant has
disappeared in the snow. And on the TV, which the grasshopper bought by
selling most of the ant’s food, they are showing Tony Blair standing before
a wildly applauding group of New Labourites announcing that a new era of
“fairness” has dawned in Britain.
