President Robert Appoints His Cabinet

President Robert has completed his manifesto presentations to the voting population Proletariat Len. Voting becomes irrelevant as under suspicious circumstances the only opposition mysteriously disappears. There are already underground critics of President R’s ideas but nobody surfaces yet for fear of what might happen. President Robert will keep Grammar Schools and have selection at 11-13 and will strengthen Secondary Moderns. President Robert will privatise hospital delivery while critics say they should be kept with the State. Finally President Robert will stop all the nuclear build programmes and use all the saved money to apply to solar research and be confident he will fill the energy gap with the knowledge he creates. Critics say we must keep nuclear so there is no interruption of tv and brewing cups of tea for the nation. President R takes us in to Europe and works at shaping it from within and will remain a friend to America. Critics say we should stay on the outside and just keep all the benefits of trade status. President Robert announces his cabinet and is seen congratulating Minister of Health Karen Vacha after dining together in the Three Tuns in Hay on Wye. At one stage there had been rumours Karen would stand for President but somehow the chemistry between her and President R has left her satisfied with the post of Health Secretary. The cabinet President R announces has three appointments for each position. The first is a living politician, the second a dead British character and the third a dead world historical figure. President R believes these combinations will take on all the challenges ahead and is recommending the living politician should take clear advice from the other two figures for their position before taking any action. The appointments with immediate effect are:
Foreign Secretary – William Hague, Winston Churchill and Alexander the Great
Chancellor – Ken Clark, Dennis Healey and John Maynard Keynes
Home Secretary – Tony Blair, Harold MacMillan and Thomas Jefferson
Health – Karen Vacha, Nye Bevan and Alexander Fleming
Defense – Douglas Hurd, Duke of Wellington and Genghis Khan
Chief of Staff – Peter Mandelson, Richard III and Machiavelli
Education – Margaret Thatcher, William Caxton and Mahatma Ghandi
Works and Pensions – Gordon Brown, King Offa and FD Roosevelt
Press Secretary – Me, Alistair Cooke and Abe Lincoln
Sport – David Beckham, Bill Shankley and Mohammad Ali
Arts and Culture – Nigella Lawson, William Shakespeare and Puccini
