Christine Lagarde Thinks Osbourne's An Idiot As Well.

In the wake of the CBI's surprise conclusion that George Osbourne is a complete idiot, Christine Lagarde has reached much the same conclusion. Speaking at the G7 conference in Marsailles Ms.Lagarde suggested that it might be time to stimulate the British economy rather than strangling it. In reply George Osbourne said; "What do the bleeding French know? Our primary concern in Britain remains the bond markets because, unlike France and Germany, we don't actually have a manufacturing sector and wouldn't give a monkey's if we did. The point is that bond markets decide what rate of ineterest Britain pays for its borrowings. By cutting our own throats as far as the economy is concerned we keep those interest costs down and save money." Asked what he is saving this money for if not to invest in British manufacturing the man reputed to be Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer replied; "The money is earmarked for tax cuts to the rich and to subsidise Tory voter's mortgages on houses bought at the height of the property bubble banking scam - what else? The most important thing is to protect the banks against the consequencies of their irresponsibility and insulate Tory voters from their own greed. Putting ordinary people out of work and cutting their services to the bone is small price to pay to help me and my mates."
