I would just send in our entire Playmobil cabinet, headed up by Norman the Foreman.

Especially important would be Ken the beverage minister and Len the biscuit minister.

Nuttybear · 11/05/2010 16:22

Home Secretary - Sharmi Chakrabarti, Director of Liberty No! No! No! What a nightmare. Nothing will get done everything will be in court for years. Would you want to be on a jury for two or three years. No someone fair with swift idea of Justice and fairplay erhh........ Jeremy Clarkson

Nuttybear · 11/05/2010 16:23

Now while I'm making tea I will think of the other minsters.

Thought of another -

Transport - Phileas Fogg

And Moira Stuart to be made Newsreader-in-Chief and returned to our screens, hurrah!
