In a desperate attempt to head off public sector strikes on November 30th the coalition has deployed its weapon of last resort - Danny Alexander pictured above. "We didn't want to do it," David Cameron told reporters, "but felt we have no choice. Danny is now at Defcon 1 and is poised to give the whole country a good talking to. We have made it clear to the unions that if they don't accept our plan to pauperise their members in old age, then we will take our bat and ball home. You have to realise that this threatens my plans to award myself with an Earldom when I retire and it must be stopped at all costs. I would also like to warn the unions that Francis Maude has already announced that he is losing patience with them - a threat to the well being of the nation that we simply cannot ignore. I cannot emphasise the danger of a slightly annoyed Tory party to the future of the country too much. If we can do this to the economy when feeling pretty smug imagine what might happen if we become irritated."
