Two days ago George Osborne, the Chancellor of the Exchequer for our great nation (please, stifle those laughs), announced to Parliament and the world the budget for the upcoming years. It was a veritable smorgasbord of cuts, controversy and, to be quite frank, the inevitable. Is anyone actually shocked that the Conservative solution is to cut spending? They do have something of a history.
As an aside, yes, I am referring to it as the Conservative solution rather than the Coalition solution. This is because, as far as I can tell, the Liberal presence on the Cabinet hasn't made the blindest bit of difference to any governmental decision so far. Cameron was not the most right wing Tory to begin with, so they haven't got that big a job to do, but it seems to me that while the Tories have been sat at the table making decisions and laughing at the poor people the Liberal Democrats have taken it upon themselves to enjoy the lovely summer we've been having, perhaps have set up a paddling pool in the garden of No. 10 and are just taking it easy. Except for Vince Cable. I can't imagine him with his trouser legs rolled up, his tie loose and and hanky on his head.
Vince Cable is good. Osborne should not be Chancellor.
Anyhow, now that it has reached the late, late hours of the night, and more importantly I have an exam tomorrow, I shall leave you with this little comment, stolen from Sickipedia (and then censored):
| To America: I just got food poisoning from McDonald's and I'm blaming you. Now I know that the person who served me the food was British, I know that the person who made the food was British and I even know that the manger of the restaurant was British, but it's an American company so I'm blaming you, just like you blame Britain for the oil spill that you retarded c***s have caused. Whilst I may have put it slightly more eloquently, I agree with gvn_obrien. The company that owned and ran the rig was American. BP just had an arrangement through which they got all the oil. I struggle to see how its BP's fault. |
