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.
[1] All in this together? Osborne is skiing, Zac Goldsmith is in £8k-a-week villa and Mr Speaker hosting a lavish party for MPs as Britain faces year of austerity, The Daily Mail, 2/1/2011
Undoubtedly, dude. Undoubtedly. Exactly why we must take our beautifull country back from the two, warring factions that spew hatred 24/7. Democrats. Republicans. We don't need'm, we don't want'm, and Keith Blowbermann is just like a pirana, soon to go under to his demise. Why? The 2%ers at the top of the pyramid want everyone to do the bellicose, like our slimy, puppet prez who takes orders from them. 'Show me how to dance on this marionette', sez the smelly BO. Did you see how sloveny cheep Michelle was in that godawful picture announcing Christmas? She had on a lipstick most pro'bly given to her BY the 2%ers. God bless the USA.
