The Cleaner

Today Blair will ask the Queen to make like a 4 in 1 powerball tablet and dissolve parliament. Yes Mrs. Muscle, put on the rubber gloves, get out your scrubber and wipe away the scum, grime and cloud-making lime scale that clings to this beautiful land of ours. At least temporarily because, like all putrification, it comes back eventually.

Still, let us not be downhearted. For one brief moment in time our once dusty recipe books of legislation will once again gather a few grains of detritus.

For the next few weeks this current parliament, which has been such a sticky stain on our inherited and cherished tabletop of freedom, will have been wiped away.

Yay for us! Yay for The Cleaner!
