Cameron: Reducing Deficit Harder Than He Expected.


David Cameron told the CBI today that tackling Britain's deficit has proven to be more difficult than he envisaged. "I don't understand it," he told the audience who listened agog. "I've thrown as many people as I can out of work, flattened the British economy with a mean tenderiser, poured billions into the banks and prayed to the Blessed Thatcher, but the deficit refuses to vanish." We asked our economics editor for his take on David Cameron's speech; "That's what happens when you replace common sense with ideology - especially the insane ideology that this dickhead adheres to. How the hell can you pay off the deficit when you make absolutely sure that the economy is shrinking quicker that George Osborne's dick in a cold shower? These people don't believe in evidence. Instead they get some idiotic idea in their head that no sane person would believe and then elevate it to government policy. A goog example is the myth that Britain is filled with workshy malingerers despite the fact that we have the second lowest incidence of sickdays in the whole of Europe and work the longest hours in the developed world. The Tory imagination, however, is still stuffed with armies of people claiming sick benefits despite being able to work. Now the appeal system is close the breaking point and its costs have soared into the tens of millions. Its a case of donkeys being led by an ass."
