Two 'politicians' facing up to each other

[wolf63]

I don't think that I have ever posted a thread in the News section.

But this is a fun story and it is a news story.

And here is a close up picture of the young lady whacking the male in front of an audience.

Never posted in News? Stand back and await your character assassination!

always new it was a bit catty in Downing Street.

There was no fight. It was a cordial meeting and there was a frank exchange of views. At no point did Cameron's cat call Osborne's cat a f***** pleb.

[ludwig]

They were discussing the plight of the poor in modern Britain. At some point tempers were frayed and Osborne's cat was heard to say 'The poor? I'll show you the f**in paw mate, have some of that - bosh!'.

He later denied having said it or doing anything wrong, but apologised anyway, and the incident is now closed.

Or maybe Larry was making an 'inappropriate' move on Freya and she slugged him. Maybe she should have been working at the BBC.

I don't get involved in 'cat fights' there are enough on Answerbank already.

This is from his press statement..

// I made a playful gesture to stroke the side of Larry's head. At no time were my claws extended. However, with the benefit of hindsight I can see how this could have been misconstrued as an aggressive act. It was inappropriate, and I apologise for this. Any suggestions of excessive catnip consumption playing a part in the incident are entirely without foundation. //

I can't believe there isn't more interest in this. Surely someone is going to blame Margaret Thatcher's cat for the increased yobbishness in modern feline society?

Ludwig –

• Cats are legally allowed to sniff/eat opiates
• they are experts in obtaining free meals &
• have they have been known to break into and sleep in other people's homes
• they are legally allowed to kill
• sleeping for 16+ hours per day
• most of the males are castrated early in life

There would be no scandal if they ran the country!

Wolfie, right up until your last bullet point I was thinking wow, wouldn't it be great to be a cat.
