What Would You Do If You Were Prime Minister?

What would you do if you were Prime Minister? “I’d halve the price of cigarettes, double the tax on health food, then I’d declare war on France.” Mark E Smith, The Fall

A printed meme asks what Mark E. Smith would do if he were prime minister, showing his portrait beside an absurd political answer. The joke comes from the contradictory policies—cheap cigarettes, expensive health food, and a declaration of war on France—matching Smith’s irreverent persona and The Fall’s dry, provocative style.
