What a shame it comes too late for Tim Yeo.

We could start a petition................

newist Mon 10-Feb-14 22:32:14

That would be awful, I think Zoo animals should have good food

Aka Mon 10-Feb-14 22:33:21

Yes!

janerowena Mon 10-Feb-14 22:52:11

Who would be first?

whenim64 Tue 11-Feb-14 06:07:13

Nigel Farage! Might stop him hanging round here for our bi-election, holding up the traffic when I'n trying to get on with my day! Revolting man!

Hasn't someone just been arrested for telling a policeman that he would like to kill Prince Harry? Watch what you say – we don't want GNHQ raided and shut down. grin

whenim64 Tue 11-Feb-14 07:54:12

I'll risk it absent! grin

I might have another contender later this morning - the BNP are on the prowl.........

..............prevention is better than cure! grin

What about Eric Pickles?

When he criticized the Environment Agency someone on the radio described his remarks as stupid and said he'd be of more use as a sandbag grin

Eric Pickles would make a good snack for a few lions. (Apologies to anyone offended by comments about just how over weight that man is)

"Unwanted MPs" - is there any *other/ sort? confused

whenim64 Tue 11-Feb-14 09:30:44

Michael Gove would make a tasty morsel for the cubs! grin

Ed Balls is quite meaty.

Apparently most new MPs gain a stone the first year they work, because of all the lunches and snacks they are given and the unsociable hours, so most of them should have a bit of spare flesh.

newist Tue 11-Feb-14 10:13:20

Yes But.... is it right to feed animals on meat that is full of sh**?

janerowena Tue 11-Feb-14 10:25:23

That's true, it's probably all puff pastry and tempura, with preservatives and flavourings.

Stansgran Tue 11-Feb-14 10:53:36

Couldn't we just throw them to the lions and let them be mauled a bit. It might concentrate their minds. Then we could do the thumbs up/down bit. Put us back in control.

Mishap Tue 11-Feb-14 10:55:12

Yes Ed Balls - I believe balls are quite a delicacy in some countries - a gourmet meal for the lions.

Galen Tue 11-Feb-14 11:09:51

Ris de veau! Smiles of the calf! Sweetbreads! Lovely!

rosesarered Tue 11-Feb-14 11:17:07

I can't believe how cruel you all are grin
riverwalk that comment made me laugh [sandbag!]

KatyK Tue 11-Feb-14 20:28:52

And Eric comes complete with his own Pickles! What about Alex Salmon(d) for the polar bears? They like a bit of fish.

margaretm74 Tue 11-Feb-14 23:05:56

Richard Bacon - or too salty?
Stephen Crabb?
And a good gnaw on Peter Bone

Tim Yeo is still an MP. He's only been metaphorically fed to the lions.
Apparently there has been a surge in requests for membership of his local party since he was deselected.
