Universities prepare for new term

Britain's universities are preparing to welcome the unshaven beer-swilling masses back into their fold at the end of this week. The annual influx of sandal-wearing real-ale-drinking beardie lecturers and tutors marks the end of the Liberal Democrat's annual conference.

During the conference sales of the Guardian plummet in London and the capital's coffee shops have reported a slump in skinny laté sales. Traffic problems in Islington lull for a week due to the absence of huge four-wheel-drives emblazoned with 'I don't buy ESSO' stickers transporting a solitary child to a private school eight miles away. It is safe to wear fur in Holland Park without being abused by some pretentious liberal in leather shoes.

The conference also marks the low point of the rural social calendar as it congregates all of the nation's Morris Dancers in one place, leaving villages across the country short of a target of ridicule and mirth.


Lib Dems: Beardie real-ale drinking Morris Dancers


yeah, but the Lib Dems have got beards!


Thank you.

It's conference season, it'll be Labour next week.


Actually, on Newsnight last night, Kennedy seemed to gladly admit how dull and uninspiring he was, and how he is leading his party from the middle. I imagine the morris dancers will soon find the man too frivolous. It's a shame, cause until I saw the interview last night, I'd openly admit they were the only party I would bother to go to a polling booth for. Now, I'm clearly going to have to form my own. Perhaps The Snoozy Party needs a revival.
