Our government has implemented laws against drinking and operating
vehicles, due to the danger of accidents. These laws are enforced with
ruthless severity, starting with a one year ban for any infringement.
I
am fully in agreement with this, and indeed now propose that these
exact same laws will be applied to all those working in government and
making key decisions involving the operation of that vast vehicle, the
Great British economy, There is clear scientific evidence available
showing that judgement is severely impaired after the consumption of any
alcohol.
I therefore propose that the selling and consumption of
alcohol on government property, including the House of Lords and Houses
of Parliament, is immediately banned. Furthermore any politician or
government employee found on government property to be under the
influence of alcohol will be forthwith banned for twelve months from
office without pay or benefits.
To ensure that the Law of the Land
is held in the highest degree by those who make the laws, I further
propose that all entering government premises have to take a breath
test, and also that random checks will be performed throughout the
corridors, hallways, offices and toilets of power.
Only once we
have made sure that clearheaded and capable drivers sit at the steering
wheel of the UK economy as it is navigated meticulously around the
hazards can we rest assured that a bunch of pickled brains is not making
impaired decisions and steering us deeper into the abyss.
