Oxfordshire Country Council's Conservative leader Keith Mitchell CBE has been attracting plenty of attention on Twitter of late. He has been less than impressed at the protests by students over tuition fees, and wasn't afraid to use all his wit in expressing this.
First came this tour de force...
...which got him coverage on the regional news.
Now today he comes up with...
Oh man, this guy should do stand-up! Sure, water cannons have in the past resulted in permanent blindness, but at least you get a good wash! LOL!
But Keith's side-splitting material doesn't just stop at mocking protest. Wait until you hear his jokes about former Oxford West and Abingdon MP Evan Harris. Prepare yourself; you may need an oxygen supply on hand in case all this hilarity gets too much!
After seeing Dr Harris on TV discussing the Coalition negotiations, Cllr Mitchell tweeted:
Hahahaha! See?! It's funny because he lost his job!
Now fair enough, Keith has every reason to gloat, and indeed I have every reason to be sore. Keith no doubt contributed to Nicola Blackwood's successful campaign that took the seat from Evan. A bit of banter like this is standard political knockabout. Conversely, my campaigning failed to get Evan re-elected.
After this initital triumph, Keith must have realised he'd hit a comedy gold mine! In came this follow-up:
Genius! Now that Evan is no longer an MP, he can go to Zimbabwe for some reason! Hahaha!
And then another one!
Zaire! Those 'Z' countries are sooooo funny! Get a job there, Evan! How does he come up with them?!?!
But wait, there's more!
Hahaha! A proper job! I love this guy. He should be the warm-up act for Michael McIntyre's next sell out show.
Hahahahahahahahaha *breathes* hahahahahahaha! He phrased "a proper job" as a question this time! Michael McIntyre should be Keith Mitchell's support!
Encore!
Boom! Take that, Harris! Time you got a proper job! Best one yet! Move over, David, there's a new Mitchell comedian in town.
More! More! More! More!
A proper job! Wooooooooooo! I love this guy! He should go far to some far away country, like you said before! Err, twice... Still funny though! Nick Thornsby is so lucky to get that joke personally sent to him!
So there we have it. All that remains to be said is...
...Oh no wait there's more!
Evan hasn't got a job! Hahahahaha! Whew! Where does it all come from?!
All that remains to be said is I hope I get to meet him one day so I can get the full Keith Mitchell Comedy Experience first hand. That would make my day.

In case you can't hear me from where you are, I'm quite literally pissing myself with laughter. Pants will need to be changed.
The thing is, stuff like this is the sort of crap "humour" you hear on BBC Parliament - the sort of jokes that gets a room full of old guys cheering and waving sheets of paper in the air while the rest of the UK looks on, face firmly in hands, hoping the rest of the world isn't watching for fear of us looking like a nation of absolute tossers.
I'm happy to contribute to a whip-round to send Keith Mitchell to some non-existent place; so long as it's a bloody long way away and doesn't have an Internet connection. Somewhere in space?

"while the rest of the UK looks on, face firmly in hands"
Indeed. It shouldn't be physically possible. But it is.
Methinks the Council Leader doth protest too much, by the way. Sounds to me like he might be a wee bit envious of our Evan, if only on a party level. I wonder how much press coverage Nichola Fundiemajig gets.
