3 Billion to revamp Parliament

[Wilf]

Suppose I'd go with William Morris and stick some horse shit in there.

Leaves space for punchline:

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

Really? Really?

It's one of them anyway. We should do a top ten iconic government (loosely-defined) building poll. Moscow Kremlin, White House, Capitol Building, Palace of Westminster, Reichstag?

Just gets onto my top 10 sauce bottles.

Top three, in glass form. Not even top 100 in easy squeezee plastic version. Brrr. The horror.

Actually, maybe we could house them in a large plastic tomato?

I can see that.



There's already a Gherkin, why shouldn't London's skyline map out the components of a McDonalds Happy Meal?

 

[thriller]

modern human history.

 

[Yossarian]

It's not even the most iconic building in London but I guess its location and place in history make it an ideal location for a Crimes of the British Empire museum. Not sure where the current occupants could be relocated to - maybe they could try teleconferencing?

National Congress of Brazil.

Battersea power station would have done the job. Shame it's being turned into cunt hutches.

Good idea if Battersea was still a working power station though we would have to check the mechanical stokers for the boilers could deal with the inhabitants of the palace of fools

Erm, it's about time we took the class system out of it.

Ah, the voice of the complacent bourgeoisie.

As one of the many who languish in relative poverty while my bosses get rich, I'd like to see a lot more class conflict and a lot less managerial politics

National Congress of Brazil.

The soup bowl thing is rather odd.

What about this place, though.

I've never understood why Northern Ireland, with a population of less than 2 million has ended up with a parliament bigger and more substantial than that of Brazil (population 200,000,000), or any other country I can think of

 

[ViolentPanda]

No. Their building needs to change (assuming there'll be a bit of time yet before we fuck this system off altogether). Part of being a cunt is having the trappings of cuntery. Putting them somewhere functional rather than grandiose would remove some bit of their self-importance. Not that it would ever happen voluntarily...

But keep the building. It's pretty. It does have lots of interesting history. Open it up. Let people use it.

^^^^Absolutely this.
Set the House of Cuntery up at an abandoned warehouse in Solihull, devoid of pomp and circumstance.

 

[ViolentPanda]

proudless piece of shits.

This is the most iconic government building in human history. I'm fine with £3bn spent. It needs urgent repair and needs to be repaired.

That's because you're a vacuous cunt.

 

[Wilf]

Here's a possible design:

a parliament bigger and more substantial than that of Brazil

It's not. (All images at same scale)

or any other country I can think of

Except, for example, the UK's houses of parliament.
Or some other country I can think of

 

[ViolentPanda]

Really? Really?

It's thriller saying it. He's a vacuous trolling cunt.

Rebuild the palace of fools we could do the job properly and kill several birds with one stone Reduce, Reform and Replace. Reduce the lower chamber to between 300-350 max, Reform replace the current unelected farce of an upper chamber with between 300-350 ELECTED upper chamber and a smaller cheaper to run with NO subsedised bars, gyms, resturants etc building

 

[gosub]

Outside of London. There's loads of space elsewhere in the UK, and it would be far cheaper. About time things were moved out of London - for the sake of the rest of the country.

yet another house each on the expense claim

 

[DotCommunist]

I lolled at the idea of sailing a prison ship up the thames and giving them digs on that

or else make the bastards pay for an ibis like everyone else has to

 

[weltweit]

It is probably that expensive because they are planning to use the same rare beaverskins, essence of otter glues and individually cut stone that was used in the original construction, make them use hosed concrete and gorillaglue like the rest of us and they would probably lose 2bn off the cost!

 

[Wilf]

Wait till the whole edifice crumbles to fuck. I have an image of Nick Clegg struggling, Samson like, to hold up the final stone pillar.

... with Gordon Brown shouting 'I'm with Nick' as he pegs it out of the door.

There was an 'Eyeless in Gaza' route I could have gone there, but propriety prevailed.
