My goodness me, how bountiful those nice politicians are as the 'goodies' rain down from the sky. Truly, political parties are 'the gifts that never stop giving'. Every morning 'my cruise through the news' brings me tidings of great joy. Absolutely and definitely on my mother's eyes, say the pols, no more tax rises and no more new taxes. Thank you, guv'nor, I say whilst tugging at my cap out of respect. And, they all rush to add, zillions more on the NHS, pensions, minimum wages, schools and, er, well, anything else you fancy, really so long as you're a voter. What's that, they ask, you need some help buying your first home, relax, here's a nice 'wedge', several thousand 'smackeroos' to get you started all courtesy of the "Lyin' Eyes" party.
It is all deeply, deeply depressing. Do they take us for fools? Well, yes, actually they do, and what's worse is that they are right! When the best available option is 'Dim Dave' there is only one thing for me to do - leg it across the road to The Tippling Philospher and indulge in some serious tippling and some not too serious philosophising!
We do enjoy the links to this fine establishment. "In vino veritas".
Report any conclusions here.

One thing is for sure and that is a lot of new faces will be collecting the 70k and expenses. Of course we will hear the old tried and tested excuses for their failings. eg: it is the English to blame and we did not anticipate the slump in the markets. The oil prices have fallen. The Welsh Nat tart leader was on Radio 2 saying she expects the UK to continue with the large subsidy until Wales can be fully economically viable. That was more hilarious than the Green down under burd. David time for England to put up the tolls.
