Partly Facetious: Nawaz Sharif's bid to shift to London
"Nawaz Sharif, I have heard from very reliable sources, wants to relocate to London."
"What reliable sources? It was in the news."
"Yes but it sounds better when I say reliable sources. I mean the way our politics is going these days every statement by a politician is challenged by another."
"That's true."
"Anyway NS has claimed that Riyadh's agreement with Islamabad was to keep him there for three years. He says the three years are up now and."
"I think more than three years are up. Hasn't Musharraf been in power for over five years now?" "Right but NS was not safely ensconced in his gilded cage at the beginning of Musharraf's regime. He was allowed to go after a year or so."
"OK so he wants to relocate to London."
"Much nicer climate I hear. And the entertainment is kinda nicer too."
"Don't think NS was wanting for anything material in the Kingdom."
"No he wasn't but he was getting bored in the Kingdom. I mean there is only so much that food can console you. And with your mom and your wife and some of your children in the palace you really can't expect him to give free rein to his activities."
"His brother got married while in the same gilded cage as you say. What stopped NS?"
"Well, the two are markedly different. One marries whenever he likes a woman the other doesn't, one is a leader who gets votes the other doesn't, one has a much lower IQ than the other and I don't want you to ask who."
"But both are bald."
"No more, thanks to medical science."
"You ever hear of the bald eagle?"
"Yes."
"Ferocious bird that."
"Yes but when it's in a cage..."
"And that is why our Musharraf, the head of the reconciliation effort, is telling the Saudis not to let him go to London. See Poodle is not going to control what NS says in the UK..."
"Ah yes. They need a new and improved democracy in the UK too. Let's export some of our biggest proponents."
"The UK government may reject a military ambassador like some other European countries."
"Man! No will to learn."
