……and the part 1 winner is ROGER

Last Sunday we launched a small prize competition. People were asked to you use their imagination to guess what will be the next David Cameron policy move after “Hug a Hoodie”

There were two prizes on offer – copies of my book on politics and betting that’s just been commissioned and will be published during 2007.

The first will go to the most amusing and original answer.

The second will be decided after David Cameron’s Tory conference speech in the autumn and will go to the entrant that got closest.

There were well over 150 entries and after much deep consideration I have decided to award the prize in the first category to Roger.

I very much liked his post 57 “All Public schools to become Faith Schools. Eton to become Jewish seminary. Known as Mazel-toffs”.

But the one which amused me most and just had the right feel about it was post 65: “Gypsies to be the new environmental roll models. All towns and villages to provide parking space for travellers caravans free. Special dedicated parking space for Caravans in HOC car-park. All councils objecting to be fined heavily. Campaign to be known as “Let a Gyp kip””

Congratulations Roger and your prize will be sent to you as soon as the book is published.
