together

do you remember when they told us 'we were all in it together'?
of course you do.
how could you forget? those smug rich bastards with their shit eating cheshire cat grins. they were telling us we are all in this together.
clever bit of pr, a nice sound-bite for a serious problem. the global crisis had put us all up shit creek without a paddle so we all needed to pull together, roll up our sleeves, put our backs into it: noses to the grindstone time.

the big society. that was what it was all about.

after all look at that nice mr. david cameron. a few silly people cause a bit of a rumpus and he breaks off from his family holiday to sort it out. same with the lovely charming mr. osborne: a bit of a two and eight in the markets and he is back here to calm matters down.
he even broke some bad news for us all "the recovery will take longer and be harder than hoped", he told us.

it won't be quite so hard for some people - such as mr. cameron who was enjoying a holiday that was costing £5000 a week. not sure mr. osborne's was as much, though i am sure he wasn't worrying too much about having to max out his credit cards to pay for it.
just think about it mr. cameron's holiday was £5000 a week, close on a fifth of the average annual salary. this is the man who is telling us we are all in it together.
hey it works for me.

between them mr. cameron and mr. osborne have some ideas on how to get the economy working. they involve cutting taxes on the rich (hey they need those holidays), they involve cutting taxes on businesses (after all why should they contribute to the society they are in - i might be thinking of you mr. branson), they involve welfare and red tape - why not make it easier to sack people but harder for them to claim benefits - sooner or later they will realise that they don't need a minimum wage they just need a few pennies to rub together. what more do they want?
it is a crisis, we are all in it together and some of us have to make hard sacrifices so the very rich can go on holiday.

call 1-800-richcunt to contribute to the david cameron had to cut his holiday short disaster appeal.
remember in the big society - the little guy looks after the big guy.
