It seems that the new £1 coin – which will soon be put into circulation – narrowly escaped having a picture of a fried breakfast on it.
How long will it take for the arseholes who run this country wake up and realise that “having a vote” on important decisions by involving the general public is like having your dog guard your kebab. It isn’t going to work, no matter how much you try and convince yourself it will.

Or Winston Churchill:
