The lunatics have taken over the asylum

By Paul Cole on Jul 21, 08 11:00 AM

I see they're planning to repeal the old laws that prohibit lunatics and idiots standing for parliament.

The law describes lunatics as people "only capable of periods of lucidity" and idiots as those "incapable of gaining reason".

Well, those laws have done a fat lot of good, then.

Seems to me that Parliament is filled with the very people the legislation sought to ban.
