Tory MP requires fly-tippers to be strangled with their ripped out intestines

A Tory MP has bizarrely referred to as for fly-tippers to be viciously strangled with their ripped out intestines in a weird intervention.

Hardliner Sir Desmond Swayne claimed current punishments do not go far sufficient and prompt strangling folks with their very own intestines. He was met with bafflement after making the transient remark after which sitting down.

Sir Desmond, who has been an MP since 1997, declared: “The penalties are insufficient. If offenders were garrotted with their own intestines, there would be fewer of them.” Bemused surroundings minister Robbie Moore didn’t rise to the Hannibal Lecter-esque bait – as a substitute saying that £1,000 fines needs to be sufficient to discourage criminals.

He responded: “It’s important that councils have the ability to utilise the increased penalty fines of £1,000. We want to see these penalties utilised so we can drive down fly-tipping in all council areas.”

After the clip was shared on-line, on Twitter consumer wrote: “Just the sort of sane, level headed opinions we’ve come to expect from Conservatives.” Another posted: “Desmond Swayne’s face looks like he was actually expecting a ministerial response to his suggestion.”

That is difficult to reconcile with ICUs (intensive care units) actually operating at typical occupation levels for the time of year and us bouncing round at the typical level of deaths for the time of year.”
