Fisticuffs in Bohemia

Slugger-Prescott has certainly been a highlight of my casual observance of politics over the last few years. I take more interest than I should, but always with a constant awareness that they’re all just there to shaft whoever they need to to be successful. I think I spent too many years listening to songs that tried to ‘sock it to the man‘.

David (is the) Camera-on(?) looks like a kid at school we all called ‘burger-bum’, and Gordon Brown is like the stately fat-guy with the threatening voice. Arguably PQ time in the Commons would be far more fun if there was the possibility of a school-yard fight, but let’s face it, unless a pasty farmer throws an egg, there’s very little chance.

Thankfully in Prague they do things a little differently. I very much enjoyed this video of a Presidential adviser and a politician throwing punches as a full audience watched on. I like the casual flick that starts the whole thing off, and the woefull first punch which continues into a fight as though they took lessons from Hugh Grant and Colin Firth.

At least they won’t be short of free medical attention – the audience comprised Czech dentists…
