Dream the literally impossible dream
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all those people who drop litter were to follow each other around picking it all up again?
Wouldn’t it be a breath of fresh air if graffiti artists made a point of using spray paint of exactly the same colour as the surface they were spraying?
And if all those tiresome characters who go about inflicting grievous bodily harm on strangers were to take the trouble to join the St John’s Ambulance Brigade and learn how to provide first aid for their victims, wouldn’t we all feel as if bluebirds and Hawaiian guitars were chasing each other round the Big Rock Candy Mountain to the strains of Handel’s Messiah?
Don’t say it can’t happen. That’s what you said about getting kicked out of college, remember? These are just some of the inspiring policy suggestions in Toasty’s Futon’s challenging new manifesto.
Or rather, they will be in our manifesto when it comes back from the printers, which it won’t do for a wee while yet because we forgot about writing it, being so busy with launching Toasty’s Futon as a crusading radical popular movement, which is something we intend to begin doing at any minute, just as soon as we’ve had the proposal unanimously backed at a huge public meeting, to be held at a venue that is not yet specified as we’re not sure we can afford anywhere bigger than an electricity sub-station and our insurers aren’t keen on that, or rather they wouldn’t be keen on it had we ever got round to arranging any insurance.
This is exactly why people are becoming disillusioned with politics.
