Mark McGowan's 10,000 prostrations to David Cameron

Mark McGowan plans to prostrate himself 10,000 times in front of a "large photographic image of Conservative leader David Cameron on (election day) May 6th, 2010, opposite number 10 Downing Street."

He explains: "The prostrations can be seen as a sign of reverence to a noble man, David Cameron, the man who can lead this country out of the problems we are in. It should take me about two-and-a-half days to complete, I will start at 10am on Thursday 6th May and finish on Saturday 8th May, by which time this country will see a new leader. Gordon Brown, the Labour party and champagne socialism is over."

So, over to champagne Toryism instead. Except of course you can't get into Downing St these days without an invitation and the police won't allow him to loiter about outside for long. I just hope Mark doesn't end up with sciatica.

M de Plouquenet to prostrate himself in front of Vicky Binns (Moly Dobbs, Corrie). "I am mad" he explained.

More from the Guy Hilton Drug Rehabilitation Community outreach programme? The attention seeker's too fat to attempt such a feat. I give it ten sun salutations then he'll be screaming bach-ache. And what about 'elf and safety love?

All Tories now? About 38% of the electorate according to latest polls, or 35% depending on who you believe. Onwards into the future - with brand-spanking Old Etonian Dave at the helm!

I'm quite confident Mark will be moved on by the over-padded cops - they may even beat him up first and then claim they did it in self-defence. I'm sure the courts will be supportive of such action.

You could always vote UKIP, Lavinia - perhaps Val could advise as a former Euro-serf

I love that you're an old socialist, madame. It just adds to your eccentricity.

If only there had been people like Mark McGowan in 1930s Germany, Nazism would have died an humiliating death. I mime the raising of a beret in his general direction.

Val has disappeared to Barbados for three weeks. Lucky for some!

I'm mid-way through my 1008000 prostrations before an icon of the divine Mother Arcati - as per Vedic stipulation.

Am already trembling with visions from within the vast cosmos of her yoni....

Madame Arcati said...

Dearest Nirps (for it is he), my vast cosmos awaits the indecent enormity of your intrusive lingam, as reported. Please don't get sciatica on my account. I'm only thinking of you. xx

Nigel Supine said...

Sciatica? As Eric Morecambe once said, you should stick with Weetabix like everyone else.

Madame Arcati said...

You have a strange turn of mind.

Kevin Spacey said...

What on EARTH does this have to do with me?

Madame Arcati said...

Kevin, poppet, you of all people should know a prostration when you see one. But for your sanity you might imagine people were born on all fours with their tongue up your botty.
