There’s no prize at stake – just the opportunity to prove you’re wittier than any other LDV reader…
Here’s David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Andrew Lansley rolling up their sleeves over the NHS reforms — what do you think might be being said or thought by or about them?
And the winner of our last caption comp is…
Some fantastic entries for our most recent caption competition, Ed Davey “I’ve got Energy” Edition.
The winner, according to The Voice’s judging panel of one, was this one by Tabman, with a highly commended offering by Tony Dawson here.

We are that close to pulling the Bill.
Tony Greaves (may even be true).
Cameron: Right! I’m ready to muck in! Who needs surgery?
Nick: I think there’s one over there who needs their spleen removed!!
Lansley (thinking to himself): When I said we need to prove the need to put doctors in charge of the NHS rather than politicians this is NOT what I had in mind!!
hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil – replaced by – no mandate, not in the coalition agreement, no support!
Cameron: Just look how few resources you really need!
(thanks to my wife Ruth for this one)
Cameron: “once the public know what this Bill will do to the NHS, this is the size my majority will shrink to at the next election”
Nurse: You can wash your hands as much as you like David, you won’t get the blood of the NHS off them…
The delegation for the “Support the Bill” rally turn out in great numbers.
Nurse: I’m really sorry, Mr Clegg, we’ve looked everywhere but we can’t find your backbone
Cameron (in a Mr Burns style): Excellent!
Dave… “I’m washing my hands of the whole affair!”
@ Jason,
Lansley: “You try it mate and I’ll stick this scalpel in you”
Cameron says:
“If we moved the beds closer so that they were about this far apart, we could triple the number of beds per ward.”
LDV Caption competition: Clegg, Cam and Lansley:
“So where are the NHS patients then?”
Nurse – sorry sir, you can’t come in here without a tie
Clegg – here’s Khmer Wan, all the way from Bangkok
(With apologies to Morecambe & Wise)
Cameron: Someone give Nick a tie this long so he can try tucking it into his shirt & miss what we’re doing.
“We’re ready to take on the Men in Black now.”
“U C R NHS Billz all white now innit?”
Nurse: “Where’s the fourth horseman?”
Cameron:
“That’s Paul Burstow in the mincer. I told you we could find painless 25 per cent NHS savings”
Cameron ” we’ll keep this much of the hospital for NHS patients and the rest can be for private patients”
Cameron: “Nick, between your left wing and my right wing, we’ve got about this much space to operate in”
Watch carefully, this is how one does an hourly round.
Dave…”This dossier shows all the advantages this bill will mean to the NHS”….
Nurse…”Er, what dossier Prime Minister?”
‘And the influence of Lansley’s donors was THIS much…’
“Fight! Fight!”
The nurse at the front: And now I’ll show you our latest bit of kit – we call it the Hasc Bill – it can dissolve the NHS and destroy Tory electability, both at the same time!
Right, boys, keep up the squeeze. It won’t be long before they crack up and they’ll be GRATEFUL when we hand them over to KPMG and McKinsey
Cameron: “I got a minnow in my government but it slipped through my fingers. It was THIS LONG!”
Cameron: OK lads lets get stuck in and get this lot cleared out of here.
LDV Caption competition
Nurse: “So Prime minster how much confidence do you have in Mr Lansley?”
Cameron: “About this much.”
Caption for LDV Caption Competition: Clegg, Cam & Lansley:
“Let us pay”
David Cameron: ‘I do support the NHS, look here’s a small clap for the nurses!’
Cameron forgets to use soap, tory-virus rampages through hospital.
