Downing Street needs a cat again

What it could look like

We have all seen the film of the Downing Street rat. Yet, reports the BBC, the authorities are refusing to embrace the obvious solution, follow Winston Churchill and get a cat.

On reflection, we Liberal Democrats should have insisted that this measure was included in the Coalition agreement.

You will remember Humphrey, who held the position of Chief Mouser to the Cabinet Office under John Major. He was shot by the incoming New Labour administration at the personal insistence of Cherie Blair.

Later Alastair Darling had a cat called Sybil at 11 Downing Street.

I have to tell you that I like cats and dogs more than catholics - horrible people ...

The best news: I just saw in a Hungarian bookshop Richard Dawkins' "The God Delusion" in a Hungarian translation ...

PS: That cat is really nice ...
