So, maybe the economy isn’t in such bad shape after all.
Maybe our beloved, weirdly eyebrowed Chancellor, Alistair Darling, just exagerated a little when he said we were a thousand billion zillion quid in debt.
Because we now know, of course, that he is prone to exagerate somewhat.
In the latest political saga to grip the nation (yeah, right), the little Darling reveals how some of his colleagues questioned his ability to run the nation’s economy after he predicted a big recession in 2008. In his mind, Downing Street had “unleashed the forces of hell” upon him.
Forces of hell? That’s a little over dramatic, don’t you think? A bit like a petulant schoolboy trying to get his mates in trouble because they hid his football shorts and called him names.
And we also hear that Gordon Brown is “upset” at the news that people think he’s a bit of a bully. Ahh, bless.
Now, do we have any grown-ups that could run the country, please?
Please sir, me sir, please sir, me!
To be honest as soon as anything to do with politics is mentioned on the TV or radio I mentally switch off.
Not sure how I’m gonna get through the next few months once the election is announced, it could be a long, drawn out affair.
And is the next lot in going to be any better?
Tis a sad state of affairs and no mistake.
The Labour party have struggled since that nice Tony left the “Street” to get rich. Dear ol’ Gordon just doesn’t seem to have any go in him, Darling has had to try and balance the books in what is purported to be the worst recession since Will Hay was in shorts.
During their tenure they have endured the Parliamentary expenses scandal, the Iraqi war recriminations and had to bail out our greedy banking bastards. Not surprisingly they have endured all this without gaining any credit at all.
Oh how the Tory boys must be rubbing their hands in the wings at Labours misfortunes, some of it self inflicted like the bullying fiasco.
All over Britain there are huge posters of the shiny faced leader of the posh kids declaring..
“We’re going to beat the Oik’s”
The toffs have also been seen on TV preening themselves ready for what must be an easy ride into power. After all who’d vote for Labour now?
Well, surprisingly the polls are beginning to tell a different story, it looks like the great British public are favouring the underdog again. At the last count it looks like it might be a draw..or a Hung Parliament as it’s known.
I think the public have had enough, we pay through the nose for everything nowdays, there seems to be a tax (direct or indirect) on everything. The bloody weather is getting us down and don’t get me started on the pot holes and the lack of funds to fix them.
No, we’ve had enough, With the state of worlds affairs at the moment will it make any difference to us who gets in, No I dont think so any more.
Maybe we need another real war to bind us all together, I hear the Argies are stirring up the South Atlantic again, maybe we could send a gunboat down there to sort them out. It did wonders for a vicious old bag in the past.
But no it wouldn’t work, we’ve sold our big boat and not replaced it and with the price of diesel today we can’t even afford to send our submarine all that way. Any road up I heard that the fuses on the nuclear fireworks have got damp so that’s out.
I suppose we’ll just have to adopt the stiff upper lip mentality and laugh at it all, I know I will.
