Hot on the heels of the news that the little fucker who beat the crap out of you and nicked all your stuff will never be caught because the police are all off on a jolly in Libya, comes the announcement that Colonel Muammar Gaddafi is so pleased with his police forces' improved ability to catch speeding Libyan goat-herders that he has invited the City of London's bankers to his shores so they can teach his people how best to look after Libya's finances.
"Thanks to the skilful training delivered by Britain's brave policemen, my people need no longer cower in terror as a recklessly-handled goat bears down on them," beamed the world's friendliest dictator, as a hooded youth carefully lifted his wallet. "And your amply-buttocked policewomen have made splendid efforts to top up their tans on our sun-drenched beaches."
"We are a simple people, and we wish to learn from the world's best," he continued, as smoke began to billow from the windows of the palace behind him. "I ask all your hedge-fund managers, investment bankers, stock-market traders and pension-fund trustees to come over to Tripoli and show us how to turn our fragile oil-based economy into a reliable source of guaranteed everlasting growth."
Middle-East watchers feel that it cannot be long before Col. Gaddafi invites prime minister Gordon Brown to Libya, to show him how to run a nation prudently and improve his personal standing in the eyes of his people.
