British politics in a nutshell

A little boy goes to his father and asks, 'What is Politics and why is that Gordon Brown on the television again?'
>
> Dad says, 'Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
>
> I am the head of the family, so call me The Prime Minister.
>
> Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her the Government.
>
> We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you the People.
>
> The nanny, we will consider her the Working Class.
>
> And your baby brother, we will call him the Future.
>
> Now think about that and see if it makes sense.'
>
> So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
>
> Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him.
>
> He finds that the baby has severely soiled his nappy.
>
> So the little boy goes to his parent's room and finds his mother asleep.
> Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny.
>
> He gives up and goes back to bed.
>
> The next morning, the little boy says to his father, 'Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now.'
>
> The father says, 'Good, son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about.'
>
> The little boy replies, 'The Prime Minister is screwing the Working Class while the Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and the Future is in deep ****.
