This is not a poo related blog post,
but I was most amused to find that, presumably through lack of foresight, Andrew Robathan MP (Conservative) is using a picture of a coin which bears an image containing an ejaculating phallus and a reference to thepuerile website B3ta, on his Blog
How long it remains is yet to be seen.
In case it has been removed by the time you peruse, here is a screengrab:
UPDATE: It's been pulled and the whoel blog is now comments by invite only, following an article in El Reg.
Here is the original image:
And, for posterity, here are the comments from his blog, to date:

It is sad to see that the pound holds so little value for some.

With subscription rates going up like that, I'm expecting 'stiff' competition ahead

Its hard to argue with that. it isn't exactly a meaty rise after all.

Forget the credit crunch, i think there will be a huge splurge on the pound, leading to rising interest.

The idea that changing subscription rates increases membership is, in my mind, a logical phallusy

Well I think its good that we have Prince Phillip on the pound and not just the Queen. Its a step forward for equality, and I'm all for it.

I think its important that the CDC is well represented. It generates a lot of fluidity on the financial markets

It certainly is a cocksure move to inflate subscriptions like that. What with Northern Rock Hard times ahead for all.

Mr Woodchopper, I think you are in error. Pound coin have long featured national symbols (leeks, thistles etc). I have it on good authority that this one features the new national symbol for England.

Even if the subscription rates are still low, the state the pound is in I can foresee them spurting up rapidly in the near future.

I think this little episode amply demonstrates the integrity of the conservative party. Maybe next time they will splash out on their own image.

As a proud member who is over 22, any large rise would be an extreme pain in the rear. But, like any good conservative, I guess I'll just have to grin and bear it.

"In addition, when these changes go through there will no longer be the hard choice of joining your local association or the national party...."
Hard choices are what made us the Party we are today; I feel that the harder things get, the better for all concerned.
A short refractory period should allow us time to gather all our strength for the final push.

There's no point having a limp financial policy and a flaccid attitude to foreign economies. It's time to inject some steel into Britain. Pressing hard into the rear end of the stock market, spraying a massive wad in the face of Europe - that'll show our spunk.

Good traditional conservative thinking. Of course, any rise would be hard for the modern under 22 conservative to swallow. Better to take the traditional approach and ease the inflation slowly through the back door.

Seems the Tories are trying to give over 22's a right good beasting when they should really be focusing on lowering the time periods for hospital discharges! This will only leave a salty taste in the mouth of their supporters!

I can see why they are shooting for the increase but if they didn't spray the money quite so freely then it might not be necessary.

I'm tempted and i bet you are good at running a party, but i find it hard to believe all that can be forced out of just £3, I'm glad to here the rate won't change for for under 22s as i like the price i get them at now, good old fashioned analual prices that's what i want like when i were a Tory bummer boy at Eaton

It is good to see the conservatives standing up and showing the young people of today what they are made of. We've all taken a terrible shafting these past years, and if the tories putting it up will get them back up where they belong, then i just can't get enough of it.
