AUSTERITY IS THE NEW TERRORISM

George Osbourne does his best. The trouble is his best is the worst. That guessing look upon his face. The realignment of fiscal furniture to dust away Darling’s cobwebs. Within 2 years he’ll be minister of sport and asserting his expertise over the state of football’s debt. He is inflicting austerity as a form of terrorism and the media are in on it too. The fools.

I have an idea. It may be misguided but it’s better than the chancellor’s. What if we were trusted to self-impose pro-rata budgets in the same way we are asked to self-assess our tax return? By stripping away the colossal administration costs of HMRC and making it self-regulatory we could dredge this country up from the depths, or at least blow our last counters in the casino with some style. Anyone up for a march to number 11?

    Keep that austerity coming Georgie. Roll it on thick and gloopy. Don’t you know what this does to us writers? The harder the times, the deeper the examination of the human psyche. No recovery, perennial recession, ever-falling depression, now there’s a target. Bring us down to the level we’ve never fallen before George.
