| | IDS will "overturn ban" if he becomes PM
31 Aug 2002
The Conservative leader, Iain Duncan Smith, has said he will overturn a ban on foxhunting if he becomes Prime Minister. Mr Duncan Smith's announcement came as a shock to many political commentators, including DeadBrain's very own Lord Gregory T Mullet. "This is unbelievable!" he was heard shouting during his regular early-morning rant. "It's almost a policy! Somebody get me a whisky before I collapse," he added before hitting a mislaid trainee chimneysweep.
Animal rights activists, who are pushing for a ban on foxhunting, are said to be "ecstatic" at Mr Duncan Smith's announcement. "This is brilliant!" exclaimed a stereotypically scruffy woman chained to a fox somewhere in Sussex. "It's exactly what our campaign needs. With Duncan Smith backing the opposition we can't lose!"
Meanwhile, opponents of a ban on foxhunting have treated Mr Duncan Smith's declaration with disdain. "Yeah that's great for him," said Douglas Ramsbottom, a farmer from Lancashire. "But we actually want this ban stopped – saying IDS will reverse it is like saying Elvis will reverse it when he becomes PM."
Mr Presley has so far declined to make a comment.
Hey, look at this!
