VOX-POP:
I see the Queen's being primed for a hung parliament. It's a disgrace – hanging's too good for them!

Nice one. I sent in one on a similar theme for an earlier episode:

Am I worried about a hung parliament at the next election? Of course not! I just hope there's enough rope to go round!

This week's failures:

Vox Pops:
He jumped a red light, flew over the roundabout and nearly knocked over that lollypop lady. But then again, the car in front was a Toyota.

Corrections:
Last week we called MPs, accused of fiddling their expenses, a bunch of lying, thieving, scumbags. We now realise this was a scandalous comparison, and apologise to any lying, thieving scumbags who were offended.

This week's vox flops:

VOX POPS

I think John Terry should be made to return all his caps as they obviously don't work, do they?

The fall-out from the John Terry affair continued this week when he lost his sponsorship deal with Wagamama.

Wayne Rooney was concerned this week when his son, Kai's, first word was not 'Daddy' but 'Terry'.

CAPELLOJohn, I think you should apologise to Wayne for the pregnancy.
TERRYOK Boss, but should I apologise to Coleen too?

Fabio Capello is to clamp down on misbehaviour in the England squad in, what is known as, a 3-lion whip.

John Terry is to make up for his misdemeanours by singing on the new England World Cup song "3-Loins on the shirt".

The John Terry affair? Well, we've seen it all before - remember 1982 and the scandal with Kevin Keegan's-perm?

The Venezuelan Government have recently managed to shut down several TV channels.
You couldn't envisage Gordon Brown getting away with something like that, however much he wants to see the back of Dave…… Although he did manage to get rid of that UK Gold

I think with a bit of rewording this one could have made a great Vox Pop.

NewsJack would like to apologize for a report last week where we suggested that England Manager Fabio Capello had punished John Terry for his indiscretions by trying to drown him. What we should have said was that he'd taken away his armband.

I reckon you were unlucky there Steve - probably only missed out because he fluffed the line. It got a good laugh on the night.
