Figures out today show that unemployment is the highest for 17 years and that youth unemployment has now reached 1 million. The ability of the private sector to offset this, as promised by George Osborne, has failed to materialise as it too shrinks - British Gas, only today, has announced another 850 redundancies - while claims that it is due to troubles in the Eurozone are also false - unemployment was already rising under the Tory squeeze before the Eurozone crisis began. We asked George Osborne for a comment; "Politics is all about what is possible and its is certainly possible for me to wreck the economy and throw everyone out of work. Doing so is necessary in order to bring down Britain's borrowing and cut taxes for the wealthy. I know that all this talk about the Eurozone is a load of old cobblers but I need an excuse to keep Tory supporters happy that their feeble alibi for voting Tory can still be defended. Many of these plebians think that if they vote for us they too will be protected from the consequencies of the recession - they won't but, by the time they find that out, it will be too late. With democracy in full retreat across Europe and with the new boundary changes here in Britain, we believe that we can steal the next election and be in a position to crucify the country for years to come. Happy days are here again....."
