We Run the Country - Ends 16th February

[the.games]

Reading the news in the modern day, you sometimes come to think of some of the politicians running our country as clueless. They are always quoted saying absolutely barmy things or seen doing things that just makes you lose all faith in our country's democratic system.

So, for this competition, I would like you to post the wackiest thing a politician (or member of the Royal Family) has said.

The more bizarre the better!

Mr Justice Openshaw told stunned prosecutors at Woolwich Crown Court in south London: "The trouble is I don't understand the language. I don't really understand what a website is."

He had no concept of the internet haha. This was in 2007...
