Comical opposition crackpot, Willy Haig, yesterday bleated out against government policy on the ailing monkey soap industry in this country. "We are not doing enough," he said, "to protect our domestic producers," [melodramatic pause] "against the clear and present dangers presented by" [pause] "Johnny Foreigner!"
His rousing speech was was met with confused looks from government MPs, and embarrassed smiles and coughing from his own party. When questioned on the matter a government spokesgit later said "What is monkey soap?" I speculated that it might be a special soap that allows vets and pet-owners to build up a lather in the unusually coarse hair of a monkey. "Why would you want to do that?" he asked. I asked whether he, or any members of his party had ever tried to get a lather on a monkey using ordinary soap, but he just mumbled something and walked off. I lost the news.
