...and now LEGO seems so much less cool. 

GeordiePaul

I should have titled this article ‘politician ruins Lego for EVERYONE!’

Paperballpark

I already knew he liked Lego :)

I'm sure some will recognise themselves in his comments :-)

SumoLego

Someone ought to put him on the Black VIP card crisis!

GeordiePaul

@SumoLego Good idea! Politicians are great at listening to people and getting things done successfully ;-)

Nah, this one's British.

I just meant he should call their marketing department and complain.  Or do a press conference and call LEGO out.

As compared to the US, Canada or literally anywhere else?  In the history of politics?  Or even in made-up far-off lands...

I knew it was a fake country! There’s no room for it on the flat Earth.

What's his Brickset name? I think @Paperballpark might know, from the comment you made.

:-)))

Edited to add: Just realised this is pretty much a duplicate thread of the one I thought I was replying to.

@drdavewatford; @CapnRex101 - Any chance this thread can be combined with: https://forum.brickset.com/discussion/29456/politician-builds-death-star#latest

I don't I'm afraid! I was just already aware that he likes Lego.

So *you* are the Minster then! ;-)

Welcome to Brickset, sir! (Doffs cap) ;-)

Edited to add: Can @Huw change @Paperballpark username to "The Right Honourable Paperballpark" ASAP, please? ;-)

OK, I've stopped... That's enough. :-)

Too many people on here know me in real life for that to be the case!

Let's just say that I'm aware through contacts.

Apparently he is impressed by my Palace of Westminster.

Fauch

I've seen members here tell the same story, he may be one of them

Baby_Yoda

I'm impressed by your Palace of Westminster. I am the senate!

MaffyD

I want to make some comment about euphemisms, but I feel it would either be going too far, or someone would poke holes in it...

MrJackson

^ Poke holes in someone's Palace of Westminster while going too far? I know us Yanks would never be that crass.
