It's A Circus

Yesterday, while watching BBC's Question Time I heard abut a vote in parliament to ban the use of wild animals in circuses. I'd go one step futher and ban circuses. If they don't have animals it'll be mainly clowns, and they're as scary as hell.

But I was broadly in favour of this ban till I started to think about it. They won't let the animals who work in circuses work out the rest of their careers while stopping new ones from joining – natural wastage like they do in the civil service – they'll effectively sack the animals from show biz.

Oh no. If you stop them working in a circus they'll all try and get work on the stand-up ciruit, like sooo many actors do.
