Who's going to be Chancellor next week?

[OwlHoot]

Talking about new chancellors, I heard things are likely to come to head next week, with a full-blown sterling crisis.

I can see the headlines now........ 'Another BALLS-UP by the Chancellor !!'. Perhaps he should change his name because at the moment it is just too perfect and sums up the current lot in every aspect.

It's just like the good old days.

Where's the Kalagon and the Healeybun? *

Ooooooooo... a "q. v.".

We don't get many of them...

Not in the Valleys, no.

More "look over by there..."

One wag I knew discribed "q. v." as a latin version of hyperlink

Not Darling, he's getting his excuses in early ...

Reminds me of one of my favourite quotes (by a civil servant).

"We're all focked. I'm focked. You're focked. The whole department is focked. It's the biggest cock-up ever and we're all completely focked."

Reminds me of several contracts I've taken to "turn around a failing project", which translates as "paper over the cracks for this IT department in meltdown". This gov is in meltdown. Sterling crisis would be the critical mass point.

Love it that he thinks the major problem is that "Labour hasn't got it's message across"

Yes - John Major and his pals used to say that a lot - sadly it seems that after this long in power, no party can accept that voters are sick of them

Hmmm we had to wait for the chancellor to be fired after the last Sterling crisis - wonder if this one will quit if it happens?

I keep getting flashbacks to Blackadder 4 where the aide to General Melchet was a Captain Darling - and was as effective in getting believed by Blackadder.
