What exactly does someone have to do/be qualified in to get a job in the UK governments "Think Tank"?

Question

Seriously I think a job claiming to know the public concensus and stating it loudly would be perfect for me.
How do I go about it?

Answer 1

The main qualifications to be in the governments "Think Tank" seem to be:

1) The ability to live your life totally disconnected from society and whats going on in the world around you.

2) The ability to take mind altering drugs on a permanent basis.

3) An IQ slightly lower than the current air temperature outside (in centigrade, not farenheit!)

If you fulfull all these criteria i`m sure you could get a job paying a couple of million pounds a year (plus bonuses!).

They seem to have some reverse pay scale going on, where the more incompetent you are, the more you get paid!

Answer 2

Basically, you have to have at least one brain cell (note this cell doesn't have to be in full working order as long as there is a working cell between your buttocks that is able to communiate your thoughts to the aforementioned brain cell.)

See also the joke about the various organs of the body arguing about which organ should be in charge of the rest.

Answer 3

With some of the things they are coming up with I would say you need a frontal lobotomy.

Answer 4

you have to be a closet member of the BNP so you can dream up ideas guaranteed to annoy the majority of the public so much that they join.

Answer 5

join your local politcal party of your choice for your area...stay a while - then stand for councillor of that area...then stand to be the MP for that area..and take it from there - its easy money for sod all to do sort of job!!

Answer 6

you have to live in a tank and do a lot of thinking.
