The ponciest idea ever

Emerging from sleep the other day, I had a half-conscious idea to write a satire on the Tory shadow cabinet, based on Boccaccio's 14th Century picaresque epic. I could called it 'The De-Cameron.'

And I could hint at Notting Hill culinary metro-sensibilities by publishing it under the pseudonym Focaccio.

Then I woke up properly and poked myself in the eye until I begged myself for mercy.

Yes, and if you put a feminist slant on your satire, you could portray Cameron's policies as a perpetuation of the petrarchy.

(With thanks for an all-too-rare opportunity to make puns about 14th century Italian writers.)
