The convocation of crooks currently stitching up a deal on who should or should not be the 'President' of Europe is even more secretive than the process in which a Pope is chosen. In desperation, even an old heathen like me is forced to his knees to pray to the 'Intelligent Designer' for anyone but Blair. The sight of that smug, grinning countenance with his ghastly grasping wife on his elbow would be too much for my frail temper to withstand. Please, please, let us have Mr. 'Rumpey-Pumpey', or whatever he's called, who is, according to the prints, a Euro fanatic with big ideas about pushing for new European tax laws and doing away with all national emblems and replacing them with the EU equivalent. I am strongly in favour of Mr. 'Rumpey-Pumpey' for the endless cheap jokes to be had from his name, and the expectation that his Euro-fanaticism will finally drive us from the whole wretched, rotten New Frankish Empire. Incidentally, Hausfrau Merkel has nodded imperiously in the direction of Mr. 'Rumpey-Pumpey' and her pet French poodle yapped in agreement - so that's alright, then!
ADDITIONAL:
Apparently, according to the BBC, Blair has withdrawn, so you see, there is a God! And here is a picture of 'Hausfrau' Merkel's glove puppet, Mr. 'Rumpey-Pumpey.
He looks as though he's rather enjoying the Hausfrau's hand up his back even if she is wearing her Marigold gloves!
"New Frankish Empire" is a bit verbose - how about Fourth Reich?

At my age, 'DM', verbosity is not only allowed it is a requirement! Actually, although my detailed knowledge of the Frankish empire is minimal from the little I do know it is a very apt simile.

It - and its continuation, the Holy Roman Empire of the German People - was the First Reich, David; the Kaiser's was the Second, Herr Hitler's the Third. And now we are four.

I bow to your superior knowledge, 'DM', but I am slightly wary of the title "Reich", it has, as you know, modern connotations.

Well, rehabilitate it by associating it with the sweetness and light that is the EU. Actually my favourite jibe at the EU is that it is Vichy France by other means.

"Vichy France by other means
Now why didn't I think of that one?! An absolute corker!
