The people of the Falkland Islands will this weekend be allowed a vote on whether they wish to stay British or become Argies. How novel, folks being allowed to decide from where they are ruled? I doubt it will ever catch on back in the UK or not at least until 2018 or whenever.
Some people like the President of a nation built on the principle of self-determination back in 1776 (I refer to President Obama) do not care about the result and want the UK to start talks with the bankrupt imperialists of Argentina anyway. I guess Obama is a clued up on democracy as he is on economics.
But in honour of this vote I bring you this week’s Caption Contest. The winner gets a Piss off Argentina T-shirt which of course you can buy (with a Piss off Argentina mug) here.
For what it is worth my caption is:
“Once again the Argies get that sinking feeling as the Falkland Islands referendum results come in”
If you can come up with anything better please post your entries in the comments section below.
Last week I served up two photos. The first was of Lord Rennard preparing to interview Lib Dem candidates for Parliament and the second was of a man who cannot remember anything bad and will be looking for a new job in 2015.
The independent judge thought long and hard about this one and has concluded that the winner is the evil son of deluded lefties for his dual offerings of:
Picture One: So Princess Leia how would you like to be a Lib Dem MP?
Picture Two: “Salesman: Sir, If you want to fit in the entire Parliamentary Lib Dem party after 2015 you will need to buy the four-seat model”
Okay, good luck with this week’s contest. Post your entries (lack of taste is at a premium) in the comments section below.
