You know its in the crapper…
As a minister when you have to attend this sort of thing on regular basis.
There are few less glamorous jobs in Whitehall than minister for local government, as Labour MP Phil Woolas knows only too well.
At what must be a new nadir for his ministerial career, he has agreed to be the keynote speaker at a one-day “Public Toilet Seminar” on July 19, hosted by the British Toilet Association.
“Mr Woolas will be outlining the Government’s current policy towards public toilet provision, particularly relating to the non-statutory nature of this front-line public service,” promises the invitation that landed on my desk.
Other highlights include a discussion about the state of London’s public toilets and a speech entitled: “Toilet and Tourism - The Vital Link”.
Surely they could send John Prescott after all isn’t his political career in the shit already?
Then again its a portfolio a certain Lib-Dem might enjoy taking over.

front-line public service? On a front line one does not need no public toilets, a near miss does clean your bowels exceedingly well, I can tell you.
