Shear Hypocrisy

David Wolf, the leader of the Conservative Pack, has told Britain that he would “stand up” for the sheep.

Speaking on the BBC’s Andrew Grimm Show, Mr Wolf refused to say whether he would reinstate the 10p wool rate if he became prime minister, but said that he would never sanction a budget that “singled out the poor sheep”.

Mr Wolf said he believed that his pack’s current lead in the polls meant that Gordon Fox would delay a general election, adding that the row over the 10p rate was changing the attitudes of the prime minister’s traditional supporters.
”Those sheep have been let down by the crafty foxes, and sheep are the animals I want to stand up for,” he snarled. “What I want to say to sheep like that is that we are there to eat you – whoops, I mean we are there for you.”

The sheep in the street remained unconvinced, however.

“It doesn’t matter who’s in charge of this funny farm,” bleated one. “We always end up getting fleeced.”
