Government Transparency? Not Just Yet Apparently.

Having told voters in no uncertain terms, after its "meeting" with energy suppliers, that this government has absolutely no intention of controlling corporate greed, they have now also kicked a register of lobbyists into the long grass. "It's no good allowing corporations to riffle "customers" pockets if you then tell those same "customers" what backhanders you've taken," an unnamed Tory spokesperson told us. "We told voters that we would listen to them. Well, we have and the answer is bugger off and stop wasting our valuable time." We asked the spokesperson about the "Occupy" protestors and whether they would have any influence on government policy. "Are you kidding? If protests changed anything we'd make it illegal. You already have more democracy than you deserve. Choosing between competing millionaires is as good as it gets so be grateful and shut up."
