This is a pawed pawlitical announcement on behalf of "Britain's Lovable Earnest Encouragement Pawty", also known as, "BLEEP".
Dear animal and human alike. At our recent convention in the London borough of Barking and 'Dogenham', we held an election, voted by pawty members, to decide who our leader would be in the run up to the next general election in Britain.
By a landslide decision, a Jack Russell dog, famous for her work bringing the ethos of a non-judgemental, unconditional, loving world, to the computer screens of humans and other creatures, great and small, was duly elected as our leader.
Ladies, gentleman and fellow creatures, we present to you the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog.
Penny will represent our ideals in the next general election. That of a nation where the "Fat Cats" at the 'Big Barks' will be penalised for getting us into such a financial mess. That of a nation where 'pawsterity' measures are not inflicted on the poor, the vulnerable, the sick, the disabled, to pay for the mistakes of the fortunate.
Those currently in power speak of, "The Big Society", that, "We are all in this together". What that really means is that the government in power, the coalition government formed by the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats aka 'ConDems', takes away essential services and benefits from the poor, the vulnerable, the sick, the disabled. Yes, in the Big Society, those who are unfortunate are expected to fend for themselves. We at BLEEP will redress the balance.
We shall ensure that those who need help, get help. And we shall ensure that those who have caused so much misery will pay for the errors of their ways. It's time for a real change. A change for a better Britain. A Britain where mankind and all beloved creatures live in a nation of peace and equality.
After the next general election, in the 'Houses of Pawliament', a new dawn will see Penny, our kind and caring leader, take her place as the next Paw Minister of Britain.
Penny has my vote pledge :-)
ReplyDeleteGreetings Lily,
DeleteI am heartened by your vote pledge. Time for a pawsitive change.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Penny's got my vote, that's fur sure!
ReplyDeleteLong past time to straighten things out, return to merry ol' England ways!
Greetings Kim,
DeleteI thank you, fur sure, for your vote!
Indeed, this green and pleasant lands needs to get back to be the land of hope and glory.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
If anyone can straighten out the mess, it's Penny!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Alex,
DeleteIndeed, my illustrious human friend. If I can sort out my human, Gary, then my elected government can sort out this mess! Time for a change.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
All hail Penny!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Caren and Cody,
DeleteThank you both. And all 'hail' will break loose when my elected government rid this beleaguered nation of the evil that attacks the spirit of the vulnerable. No more, I say!
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Penny is in a leauge way above those already in power I can tell you. She has our vote and Lardy is clearly angling for the position of 'Secretary of state biscuits'. She wanted me to say that. High five paw-wise. x
ReplyDeleteGreetings All Consuming,
DeleteYou know and Lardy knows, we have to rid us of this evil coalition! When I'm elected 'Paw Minister', Lardy can be 'Minister of Biscuits'! High paws and here's to a better, fairer future! x
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Hi Y'all!
ReplyDeleteIf I had British citizenship, I'd vote for you Penny!
Stop by tomorrow for Follow Up Friday.
Y'all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
Greetings Hawk,
DeleteWith the growing shift in ideals and the embracing of equality, you, my doggy ally, can get it going in America! :)
You probably know that I stopped by your site and I still think you reminded me of a cute and lovable bear in the follow up photo! :)
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Oh, 'Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar', I wish you and your BLEEP party could come over here and get things straightened out. We would surely vote for you if we were there or you were here.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, we're going to tell all our friends who are over there that they have someone they can believe in to vote for this time. :)
Greetings Leslie,
DeleteIf I could but have BLEEP form a like-minded party over there. We could, in hope and unity, bring a new passion and conviction to the oppressed masses.
We appreciate your support and encouragement. Thank you for spreading the word for a new beginning.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
And the best part, she'll work for dog bikkies. You've got my vote Penny.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Delores,
DeleteAbsolutely, I am grateful for a dog biscuit. I will work with dogged determination to make Britain a better place. Appreciate your vote and Stephen Harper had better watch out. When elected, I'm coming over there to sort him out. "Idle No More".
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Take care...I've heard our Stephen has a cat. Canadian cats are way cool. I'll distract the cat so you can get a clear run at Stevie baby.
DeleteHello again, Delores,
DeleteAh yes, I'm aware that Harper has a cat who very kindly allows him to live with said cat. My human stayed in Hope, British Columbia and got to know his friend's cats, very well. Cool cats and with the info my human has told me about those Canadian cats, I know we can form a notable alliance. Harper's cat will probably let me sort out Harper without even needing to be distracted. Thank you, Canadian human.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Sure sounds like she has more brains then all other politicians combined. Plus just the right size for the cat to get a smack if she gets out of line and tries to sniff his butt hahaha
ReplyDeleteGreetings Pat Hatt,
DeleteThank you for that And with your phenomenal rise in the land of blogs, I think you can help pass the word on this new world we wish to strive for.
Cats, adore me and when I was just Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar, my cat friends would congregate around computer screens and read my pawsitive thoughts.
And you, my latest human friend, you can be in my elected government cabinet. Yes sir, 'Minister of Pawetry'!
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
A dog can't do any worse than the politicians.
ReplyDeleteGreetings PT, Superhero Author,
DeleteOr past 'pawliticians', for that matter, who treated the poor with such disdain.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Do you think the new Paw Minister of Britain could recommend the next Pawsident of the USA, too? Because the more dogs in the political world the better!
ReplyDeleteGreetings The Golden Eagle,
DeleteAh yes and you symbolic of the ideals of America. I was so hoping that someone would use the term 'Pawsident'. And in this new 'pawlitically' caring world, might I suggest that 'Bark Obarker' run for Pawsident....
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Where do I sign up??? I am totally on board!!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Keith,
DeleteYour forms are in the post, my human friend. Time for that positive, peaceful change where we celebrate diversity and not devalue those who are vulnerable. Thank you.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Penny would probably do a better job than a lot of the politicians in charge these days. (She's smarter!)
ReplyDeleteGreetings Susan Flett Swiderski,
DeleteAnd you are a smart human who understands that I could do a better job than those in government. Heck, a one celled amoeba could do a better job.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
WEll it is about time. So Miss Penny, tell me how to get my citizenship. This is a leadership I could stand behind 100%
ReplyDeleteLove and Congrats
Bert
Greetings Bert,
DeleteAh my fellow dog. Yes, come over here and marry a British dog. Then you could come and be one of my cabinet ministers. Minister of 'Woofare', perhaps....
And much love to you, Bert :)
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Hello Gary:
ReplyDeleteWe cannot see that in any way Penny could make a worse mess of things!
Greetings Jane and Lance,
DeleteIndeed, my elected government will clean up the mess and rejoice in a new, caring, sharing world.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Go Penny, Go!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Suzanne Furness,
DeleteYes, you would be correct. Time for me to go to the garden :)
Thank you, my dear human friend.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Yay Penny. A party we could believe in, a Paw Minister we could support. Would support. Penny is not only smarter than the existing politicians (worldwide) she is more compassionate.
ReplyDeleteGreetings The Elephant's Child,
DeleteThank you and the ideals my 'pawty' proposes are what we would like to see touch the hearts and minds of all of the world.
We both know that compassion is not a weakness but a sign of strength and integrity. Those who would abuse the vulnerable will discover that they are weak ones and need to learn the lesson of really being here for each other.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Hi Gary,
ReplyDeletePenny has my vote, that's for goddamn rootin' tootin' sure. We are all feeling the pinch, Gare, but as you say (or Penny says), all these austerity measures do seem to be targeted at vulnerable groups, with little being done about what actually got us into this mess. I think, then, that Penny's pawsitive plight ehoes the thoughts of many, and it is certainly time for a change!
Very Best Pawsitive Wishes, your way,
David.
Greetings David,
DeleteMy esteemed human friend. You have in your usual eloquent way, with a bit of Americanism, summed up the ethos of this posting. Although it might have been considered a somewhat surreal article, the underlying meaning is that we have had enough. Time for that change and time to let those who caused these problems to be accountable. Time to help the oppressed, not target them.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Aw, Penny would do great. My husband has always said a cute dog should run for office. World leaders would stop arguing to pet the puppy every time.
ReplyDeleteGreetings L. Diane Wolfe,
DeleteThank you, dear human friend. Your husband, just like you, is very wise. Awe, paying attention to the unconditional love of a puppy. World leaders take note.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Hi Gary .. Penny definitely has my vote ... and if Pawminster is around I'll ask for a paudience ...
ReplyDeleteHowever in this weather .. I hope Penny is keeping close to you and keeping you all warm ... have a lovely ? weekend ... cheers Hilary
Hi Hilary,
DeleteI knew I could count on your vote, dear human friend. And you would be a welcome addition to a 'pawdience' :)
And doth the snow floats down upon this beleaguered isle. I shall embrace the warm ambience of my home and hug my humans. Well, while we can still afford heating.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Being a welsh man.
ReplyDeleteI think it's time for a welsh terrier leader
But I will concede a jack Russell will do nicely
And being a bitch will help
( there is nothing worse than a leader shagging the leg of a visiting Italian prime minister
Hello John Gray,
DeleteWe shall consider a Welsh Terrier, or even, heaven forbid, a Welsh Corgi, to be a part of our Ministerial Cabinet.
I am a lovable bitch.
A visiting Italian Prime Minister would probably hope for a male dog to be Paw Minister of Britain. Which reminds me, I must get my human, Gary, away from his strange activity with the living room curtains....
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Penny deserves it! She's pawsatively marvelous. And anybody who knows her loves her! Congratulations, Penny. I think Britain will do well with you at the helm.
ReplyDeleteGreeting Joylene,
DeleteMost kind of you, my human friend. This was a natural progression after my pawlific pawblishing. And when elected, I shall be visiting Canada to get Harper sorted out!
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Yay Penny! You've got my vote - the sooner you replace the disgusting shower of slimebags currently in government the better :-) x
ReplyDeleteGreeting Teresa,
DeleteI was most confident I would get your vote. Please tell Indy he can be part of the Cabinet.
Time to remove the worst British government in living memory. David 'Scameron' and his evil rich friends. Time for those who caused this crap to pay the penalty. To target the vulnerable for the mistakes of the fortunate, just goes beyond comprehension.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Penny would certainly have my vote too!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Wendy,
DeleteI knew I could rely on you. Your sense of caring, concern for those who are being targeted by the forces of evil, comes shining through! And thank you for supplying me with the billboard poster! :)
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Penny is pawfect! Got my vote.:-)
ReplyDeleteGreetings Madison,
DeleteThank you and I knew I could get your vote. This government, amongst other things, is targeting and removing resources for those with mental health issues. You can imagine my outrage and my human's outrage!
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Does Penny have any plans to move to 10 Downey Street?
ReplyDeleteGreetings Susan Kane,
DeleteI have plans to move into Number Ten Doggy Street! :)
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
I believe that everyone would vote for Penny.
ReplyDeletewww.modernworld4.blogspot.com
Greetings Gina Gao,
DeleteThat would be nice. Sadly, those who got us into this mess, will not be voting for me.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
From Bazza’s cat Ginger:
ReplyDeleteI hope us cats would be properly looked after if you dawgs get into power. I don't want to spend my whole life running up tree trunks to escape from you! Meeow.
Click here for Ginger’s owner, Bazza’s Blog ‘To Discover Ice’
Greetings Ginger,
DeleteRest assured, Ginger, when I'm elected as Paw Minister, you will be well looked after. You can be Minister of Tree Trunks and have several branches all over Britain....
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Penny would get my vote too. Anything to get rid of the ConDems. We need somebody more caring and not likely to make the sick and disabled pay for the excesses of the rich bankers (though I am sure I spelt that last word wrong).
ReplyDeleteGreetings Lost in Space,
DeleteI am delighted I would get your vote. I figured I could rely on your good self. Indeed, time to get rid of the 'ConDems'. Never have I seen such a disgraceful British government.
The Fat Cats aka the rich 'barkers'. Yes, the sick and disabled paying for the mistakes of the incompetent.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Hey there anonymous,
ReplyDeleteNow then, I removed the other anonymous comment that was here just before your amazing comment came on here to thrill me beyond any possible suitable adjectives. So you be a regular visitor. Gosh and wow!
And the irony in your site. Are you any relation to David Scameron?
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog!
I despise "anonymous" comments with a non-generic reply and a link. I never go to their sites. Maybe Penny can put an end to this despicable work!! I vote for PENNY! Paws up!
ReplyDeleteGreetings lotta joy,
DeleteIndeed, we don't have time for those self-promoting, insincere morons. I certainly wouldn't waste my time checking them out. When elected, we shall do our utmost to remove the spam scam. Thank you, my human friend.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Good luck to Penny!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Misha,
DeleteThank you my human friend in South Africa :) And may your writing endeavours bring a smile to your face.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Beautiful Penny, MP and PM-in-waiting!! We hope you form a proper coalition with "Slim Cats" pawty too! Yay! Take care
ReplyDeletex
Greetings Old Kitty,
DeleteYes you will have me as an elected member of Pawliament! We need you and Charlie and Gumtree in our government. If you did have a "Slim Cats" pawty, however, I know our ideals would be very close together. Yay and arf!
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
A pawerful pawlitician no doubt!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Jeff,
DeleteIndeed, my human friend. I will be a pawlitician of pawsitive pawer! :)
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Penny, as mentioned before, if I could vote in the UK, you would have my full support. BLEEP sounds pawfect and I believe the French should create a similar party...FLEEP?
ReplyDeleteGreetings Elise,
DeleteThat is very nice that you would vote for me if you could vote here. And the French version would be "FLEEP" ooh la la! :) We had contemplated naming the 'pawty' the, "British United Revolution Pawty" aka "BURP"!
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Penny,
ReplyDeleteYou have Sir Poops and Hair Ball's support. Fully. Dog food to all!
Hugs and chocolate,
Shelly
Lots of licks,
Sir Poops and Hair Ball
Greetings Shelly, Sir Poops and Hair Ball,
DeleteI am most encouraged that Sir Poops and Hair Ball will support my 'pawty' in our endeavours. And the finest dog food for all.
'Pawer' to the pups!
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Penny would make a furbulous Paw Minister with her trusted advisor by her side! This was wonderful Gary!
ReplyDeleteJulie
Greetings human Julie,
DeleteThank you, Julie and I firmly believe that I will be the pawsitive solution to the plight of the undermined. You understood the underlying meaning behind this pawsting :)
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Thank goodness you are NOT odd or weird in any shape or fashion, or this post would be totally awkward! Having said that, Id like to have a dog law, more tails wagging, less barking. Seminars for toilet training. And the dawn of a new era in doggy couture.
ReplyDeleteGreetings human Tammy,
DeleteThis pawsting had the pawsitive ideals of a sharing, caring society where we celebrate diversity and even make sure the beloved cats of this world are well taken care of.
I'm a well mannered dog and hardly ever bark unless I'm trying to warn my humans. I'm very responsible in the disposal of my doggy waste. As for cats, who we need to train better, run wild through our garden and shit in the vegetable patch. And yes, my human friend, if your house is on fire and your smoke alarm isn't working, the dog will warn you, whilst kitty pisses off out the cat flap! :)
Wagging tails, your way....
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)

I, Penny the Jack Russell dog, being so darned clever, has copied and pasted the comment submitted via an email.
"It seems the ConDems' Big Society is out to crush the Little People. We must shame them at every opportunity.
Penny! Penny! She's our dog!
Throw those bastards in the bog!

Greetings human Laura,
DeleteAh yes, thank you for the comment that took a bit of maneuvering to get here. I appreciate you sending the email. Thank you.
My pawty and I will do whatever it takes to remove this evil plague on British society. They are a disgrace and when my pawty, is elected, the little people, the fragile animals, shall rejoice as one.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Hi Gary, Penny should be the next Paw Minister. Why not? she has more personality and compassion than the dick head you have now.
ReplyDeleteYour government and our government have a lot of similarities of course. You talk about you Paw Minister care more about the "barks" or banks, actually than the poor people. That's how it is in the U.S., too. For a long time now, we're more like a conglomeration of money minded corporations, self-serving lobbyists and obedient subjects (i.e. wage slave- those that are working, anyway) than what we used to be. True, we didn't give much of a shit about the rest of the world. But now, we can add, due to our ignorance of class warfare, taking shit from politicians and global warming, that we don't even care about ourselves, anymore. What a shame that we have a president who tries to get something positive done, for the most part, but there are so many from the other political party and corporations that control whatever that is important, that he is often blocked from getting those goals accomplished. Well, I wish all you over there good luck.
Too bad we don't live amongst a society that recognizes a problem and tries to fix it for the sake of everyone- whether they're poor, middle class or unable to speak for themselves.
Take care, man.
Greetings Kelly,
DeleteMy good human friend, it's my goal that my pawty shows the ethos of sharing and caring in a nation where my pawsitive pawsonality will be a lesson to the evil that is in power.
I am deeply aware of the plight of your nation. The similarities are very much in thanks to the "Fat Cat" or the big 'barks' that have caused so much despair in our lands. I think your President is a wise man who really has the ideals of the small people at heart. And yet, he is up against the self-serving interests who would do their best to veto any significant change for the betterment of your oppressed masses.
I see America as a confused nation that is hurting. A nation at polar opposites in what is best. My party would want America to understand that it's not the world's policeman and understand that we should all be pulling together to save this planet from global warming and stop the mentality where the unfortunate pay for the incompetence of the fortunate.
I hope that the attitude of certain Americans in regards to gun laws, has a massive change of heart. Peace and hope, my human friend, peace and hope.
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
Penny is so pawsomely multidimensional. Her taste in billboards is pawsitively fabulous. I can't take my eyes off of her! Her leadership will no doubt open doors for all of the little dogs.....and cats of course, Bazza.
ReplyDeleteGreetings lovely human, Rebecca,
DeleteWhy thank you. I shall be having 'pawsters' displayed all over Britain. And when we become the 'pawty' in 'pawer' at the 'Houses of Pawliament', the lessons of unconditional, non-judgemental love of us beloved creatures will provide lessons to humanity. Heck, even "Ginger" can have a place at 'Number 10 Doggy Street'!
From the next Paw Minister of Britain, Penny the Jack Russell dog! :)
