I’m thinking of starting my own Political Party. The time is right I reckon – especially with the TV stations taking us for a ride what with their phoney phone-ins and other tricks.

I was watching the news the other morning – it was an item about primary schools – and they interviewed a ‘family’ about the particular situation. Where did they get the ‘family’ from? How come no-one I know is ever invited to take part? I reckon the ‘family’ was a friend of a friend. It’s just easier that way.

Anyway, this Political Party of mine. I’m going to call it the Honesty Party and the slogan is going to be ‘Honest is the best policy’. No spin, no bullshit. If we cock up, we cock up. A spade is a spade. Tell it like it is, not like the Emperor in his new clothes would.

I’m not sure it’ll catch on.
