I BELIEVE some of our Government Ministers are suffering from serious foot-in-the-mouth disease.

We have Mo Mowlam saying we should all drive out to country pubs to enjoy a drink.

Whatever happened to the drink/drive campaigns? She should have suggested we go to a country pub to enjoy a meal.

Then we have Consumer Affairs Minister Kim Howells, saying the Royal Family are "bonkers".

Dr Howells must be bonkers for uttering such a treasonable statement. Not long ago, he could have been locked up in the Tower.

Maybe we loyal monarchists should start a "bring back the guillotine" campaign.

All those journalists, paparazzi, editors and some Ministers would start quaking in their boots.

Even the Nellie Copsons of this world are seemingly being encouraged to break the law by tax evasion, thus forcing honest ratepayers to make up the deficit.
