Seriously Silly

A colonial subcaudillo of the Farage Falange has apparently gone soft on the question of whether Britain's notorious excess of qualified physicians should be cured by recourse to a crackdown on parking offences. A defector from the eminently sane and sensible Ulster Unionists, David McNarry recited for Radio Ulster's lucky listeners the standard Rothermere-Mosley rant about getting our country back. Asked what he would do if a Polish surgeon was fined for overstaying in a car park, McNarry proclaimed that the Farage Falange would deport any and every wog who was found guilty of anything and everything. However, he later retracted the comment, stating that he had been faced with a silly line of questioning and had decided to give a silly answer in order, Zen-master-like, to force upon the radio presenter a satori regarding the Farage Falange's deportation policy. Apparently, what the Farage Falange really wants to do is deport people only for "a serious offence followed by due process and conviction in the courts", which makes the Farage Falange somewhat more weedily liberal than the student-purging Mad Tessie May; for this week, at least.
