Whether it’s real or a joke is immaterial.
It’s what we expect, it’s what Tories do – and they can be guaranteed not to disappoint.
Is opposition and opportunistic the same thing?
Btw Tom, I have recently come into posession of a leaked Labour Party instruction manual. It’s basically 100 pages containing two columns. On the left it lists the countries problems in alphabetical order, and on the right every single solution reads “throw money at it”.
Simon’s right.
When my hero TB was in charge, any trivial scrap of bad news reported at breakfast time elicited the chorus of – “it’ll be Tony Blair’s fault by teatime”
We were rarely wrong.
John, is that the partner of that other New Labour instruction manual, “Brave New World” or am I getting mixed up with “Nineteen Eighty Four”? Hell, there are so many of them, maybe that’s why this Government can’t do joined up.
A choice of various options depending on your mood.
1) The Americans (meaning the USA)
2) The Germans (don’t mention the war)
3) The French (just because)
4) OPEC (for not selling their assets at fire sale prices)
5) Foreigners who don’t obey the glorious leader
N.B. Don’t, of course; name the Russians, Chinese, Indians or Japanese directly (that would be racist). Though blaming Asia might be acceptable.

Pfft, like you’ll be any different when Cameron is PM

I’d like to see the EVIDENCE that this is a tory party memo.
If it turns out that this isn’t a tory party memo and you haven’t told the whole truth, will you do the HONOURABLE thing and resign your seat!?!?!?

lol! It would be funnier if it just had “It’s Gordon Browns fault” for everything.

The silly season has moved to January.
Tom, the economy after 10 years of Labour tax & spend is in tatters.
Is this the best you can do.
Thursday 8 January 2009 at 6:25 pm
Pretty much, yeah…

Tom, don’t intimate that Iceland is going bust or you’ll have that Katona women after you.

Personally, I think Bupendra has it about right. Sometimes you are are funny, sometimes you are not.
