50 shades of deception

Two Diamond Jubilees in the space of one month? Anyone would think that the UK is getting got greedy. At least in the first one we celebrated, everyone was given an extra day off in return for the public donation, the 'Diamond Geezer' on the other hand has yet to cough up anything of note although his daughter seems to be a fan of the HMD cough and wobble technique -however it is yet to be seen exactly who's been pulling who's plonker. What we do know is that Bob didn't receive a happy ending, unless we include the leaving package which at current rates would entitle him to approximately 340,000 of them. Now that's what I call milking the system. As Bill Black once said "They loot it by destroying it but they walk away weathy"


Cue general public outrage at the LIE-BORE scandal (and it is) but what most people are missing is that this heroic level of deception should alas be expected. Why? Well hidden beneath the greed and self interest is a system that will potentially collapse if it isn't manipulated. Can you dig it?

So, its now time for the law of unforeseen consequences to come out to play and you are invited for a front row seat. Unlike in the Warriors classic the weapons of choice are alas likely to be slightly more sophisticated but as the blame game gets underway this afternoon at the Treasury Select Committee it will be interesting to see whether its just pop that is eating itself and who remains bulletproof. Popcorn in T minus 3 hours and counting
