The Ice Axe Experience

One of my mates was going on about the Ice Axe Experience and had an interesting explanation when I asked for one. It seems some pundit said punishing the Tories by electing a Labour govenment to make its usual huge mess makes as much sense as bashing yourself on the head with a lump hammer.
    In response, another pundit said it was more like hitting yourself in the face with the spike on the back of an ice axe! My mate, going one better, decided it would be more like smearing yourself with honey and going and sitting on a next of fire-ants. Which sounds about right, given Labour’s history in office.
