Angry opposition politicians are calling for the resignation of a government junior minister following an angry outburst on TV yesterday. Keith Jitney, a junior minister for Social Security shouted down a shocked television audience during a live broadcast of ITV's The Thyme, The Plaice.
The studio debate about Social Security scroungers had naturally polarised the audience, but Robert Kilroy-Silkworm was forced to cut to a commercial break when the minister roared "We will not stand by whilst four-flippered, fish-eating mammals bleed the state dry."If they come on shore to breed, then they can come on shore to work. There will be no fish for naughty seals!" A Tory spokesman said this was grossly unfair, but nobody was listening.
