Are light bulbs a particularly female subject?

Thank you Times Newspaper for crediting Liberal Democrat Voice for the story about Boris Johnson and light bulbs, so I hope it isn’t too churlish to ask, “Why is the story in the Women’s section on your website?”

Read more by Mark Pack or more about boris johnson.

Because women only understand politics if it’s explained in terms of common household expenditures.

Because most discerning women know it’s the only useful thing men can do.

Q: How many Liberal Democrats does it take to change a light bulb…?

I don’t know, how many LDs does it take to change a light bulb?

None – because they should be energy lightbulbs in the first place!!!:@D

Surely the lightbulb’s gotta want to change…

btw re the story appearing in the women’s section: does it make a difference whether it was a screw or a bayonet fitting..?
