Ten Reasons Why Michael Ancram Should Be Taken Outside And Shot

On 18 Doughty Street tonight, Iain Dale is re-launching Vox Politix tonight at 10pm with a “new look”. One of the new segments is Top Ten, where they are looking for our suggestions. Tonight’s Top Ten will be:

“Top ten reasons Michael Ancram should be taken outside and shot”.

Deliberately inflammatory and excessively OTT, so I’ll do the same. It should bring up some fun suggestions…

Here are a few of mine:

1. Aren’t dinosaurs supposed to be extinct?

2. “Green” stuff is high priority nowadays, right? Let’s reduce the methane production by cutting out the bullshit he’s producing.

3. Well, you can’t cure stupid…

4. He needs to be put out of his misery.

5. Why waste a bullet? Rope can be re-used.

6. Why not?

And I’m out of ideas at the moment. Please feel free to suggest some in the comments!

I wrote a post on the issue that caused this question here.

Iain Dale is making another Guide to Political Blogging in the UK. In the 2006 edition, I had the honour of coming 79th in the top 100 Conservative blogs.

This time the top blogs are being decided differently, rather than him picking the lists, Iain wants you to list your top 20 political blogs and email them to him at iain AT iaindale DOT com or leave a comment in his post, by August 15th.

Honesty compels me to say that I would like to do better than last year [at which point I had only been blogging for a few months], and I would be of course be immensely gratified if people were to nominate me.
