Booing the government Olympics

It’s been another record-shattering day at the 2012 Booing the Government Olympics.

Earlier in the day the Prime Minister seemed certain of a medal after a rowdy and vociferous crowd greeted him with angry jeers and boos as soon as he stepped up to the podium. He easily broke the record for the least popular Prime Minister at an Olympic event.

However, in no time at all, even this performance was out of medal contention.

Slimy Cunt, the minister for being promoted even after being caught corrupting the course of justice, was greeted with an astonishing rendition of boos that surpassed anything seen at previous Olympics. He seemed certain of a gold medal, until the Chancellor of the Exchequer appeared. The boos became so loud it was said they could be heard in Beijing, a cacophony of hisses, shouts, jeers and boos that filled the stadium; loud, enthusiastic and seemingly never-ending. It went on so long that the next three scheduled events had to be cancelled.

The booing reached a crescendo as the Chancellor announced plans for a new tax on booing – a proposal which proved so unpopular he immediately withdrew it, making it a faster U-turn than even the great unpopularity Olympian Nick Clegg has ever managed.

A deserved silver medal went to the token woman in the government team, Tory May, who was wearing a pair of leopard-skin shoes. “The only way to preserve endangered species” she announced, “is to kill them for their skins to use as footwear.” Even this crass statement caused nowhere near the level of jeering to pose a serious challenge to the chancellor. Many say his record level of unpopularity will simply never be broken.

The event was marred only by a tiny minority of the crowd who interrupted the booing of ministers with unprompted Paralympic sporting activities, though luckily this mainly went unnoticed by a crowd who warmly appreciated the opportunity to boo a government seemingly intent on breaking all records in the unpopularity Olympics.
