Some Topical Political Spin/B*ll*x - makes one laugh



... makes me laugh anyway - sums up the laughable state this country is in - and the way sooooo many people are being duped ...

Apparently "mid-market retailers reported a year-on-year sales drop of 2.2%" last month ... so the headlines say that it's ALL because of the riots ... hmmmm ... recession, what recession ??

Top three adverts on the TV at the moment are promoting ... price comparison websites ... now that WILL get us all out of the "recession what recession" .... and don't forget those handy companies/websites that have words like "APR 1737%" ...

Police cuts ?? The Metropolitan police have managed to find 1,000 officers to basically "child mind" kiddies to and from school - something to do with mobile phone and MP3 theft ... hmm, no recession here ...

The bonuses of top company directors have risen by 187% in the past decade ... no recession here either ...

In an attempt to encourage use of public transport, plans are afoot to get rid of 675 railway station ticket offices ...

66% of rioters have been remanded in custody for various offences ... as opposed to the "normal" 10% ...

A former (Labour) MP has been charged with expenses fraud totalling £66,000 - apparently the case has been delayed because she was suffering from "ill health" ...

... just a few stories from the last 48 hours

(Football tomorrow - don't panic - but if you can't wait ... Mossley are 2-0 down at half-time and this article is worth a read)
