You’re right, Baxxter. You can tell from the colour of that cock on the Fourth Plinth that it is alert only as a consequence of too much viagra.

Wonder of wonders! This is so funny…and yet, when you pause to think about it, it’s really really sad that we should, as a nation, be reduced to this state of affairs by turncoats like Franco.

I am sure he must be thrilled to bits.

Cock in a dinghy
Brings to mind
Useless yellow rubber duck.
