Thank heavens for tea, right? The Chinese and Indians are still generous enough to grow it and sell it to you.

Wattaray Bro
Yeah baby................The Labour government will say things like it's providing for families+ older peeps, improving schools + education + increasing da no. of walk in centres for da NHS.
Bravo, you have achieved a good con trick. The people pay more taxes now, British Education dot exist ( e.g. this is the only country where most people speak 1 language, if that), and I don't see any difference in the health service. Violence in A+E depts is up, GPs are opting out of unsocial hours ( who can blame them).
Hooooooooooyah. I dot personally think the other partays can do better, but it mite be worth giving dem a try.
I'm a gonna try ma new dance, acha

I saw in my TV guide that 'Have I Got News For You' will be back on friday, and they will obviously be making jokes about the general election. So how come they're allowed to do it on prime time TV, yet we're not allowed to continue our Boris Johnson fan club?

Probably because, like in previous years when HIGNFY has been screened during election campaigns, each episode will be scrutinised, pored over and dissected by teams of BBC lawyers to ensure that an equal amount of flak is fired at each of the parties and their leaders before every episode can be broadcast.
Sadly, h2g2 doesn't have such a big team of legal experts to check and double check every point and comment made by our users. That's why we've had to go into special Election Conditions until 5th May. To be honest, we're pretty chuffed with how responsibly the vast majority of our users are being under the circumstances!

Sure, when celebrities want to make political jokes they're given a prime time TV show. But when the common man wants to they're deleted.

They could always harness all the "verbal methane" energy comming out of the house of commons.
Lets face it there is plenty of it.
There would be no need for windmills.
