OUR LEADERS ARE FROM A DIFFERENT PLANET

Are our leaders on, or possibly from, a different planet?

They have to be. There is absolutely nothing to celebrate, at Christmas or New Year this season. They allowed the banks to go rampaging across the globe, gambling away their money, taking any profits and bonuses offshore, but when it went inevitably wrong the banks, crying crocodile tears, came to us, the muggins British taxpayer, to bail them out. And being the corrupt wretches they are, our leaders bailed them out, and asked them to carry on their gambling, despite the banks trying to pull a fast one, threatening to leave if we didn't allow them to carry on (and to our detriment they've stayed). As a consequence the £120 billion per year in unpaid taxes will be safe and unpaid offshore, while to pay for the bailouts millions of muggins British taxpayers will lose their jobs, and many of them their homes too.

The Daily Mail has reported on some of the celebrations our leaders held for New Year[1]. You read mine yesterday. I didn't have any. I shook my head and held a private one minute silence.

But take Zac Goldsmith, the supreme environmentalist. In an age of austerity, and when we're being asked to use crap overpriced public transport to reduce carbon emissions, Goldsmith flies to the Caribbean to stay in an £8k villa! But who's his girlfriend? Alice Rothschild.

And as for the Oik? He either went to Davos and/or the very exclusive and Royal resort of Klosters in Switzerland. The Oik coined the phrase, "we're all in this together". Really, Oik?

And then there was a party at the Palace of Westminster, attended by a number of MPs and their guests. They claim there is nothing wrong with their £22-a-head party, saying half the proceeds went to charity and the other half paid for the staff, which included barmen, police, door keepers and the Deputy Serjeant-at-Arms.

THEY JUST DON'T GET IT!

THERE IS NOTHING TO CELEBRATE!

They could each have given £11 to charity without holding any party, and then given the second £11 to the Commons staff as a little thankyou bonus (for the Commons staff putting up with the corrupt wretches all through the year) and allowed the staff to be with their families at midnight or even party themselves elsewhere. Or perhaps the staff know they are going to need every penny to keep a roof over their heads during the next few years and were desperate for the wages.
