      That's a bit unkind Alf, if you don't mind me saying.

      Look, I'm sorry we just let Gordon get on with it, so to speak, but he had to have something to do to keep him out of the way. Like John actually. We gave John a few jobs and off he went. Good as gold. He was also useless and didn't do much harm.

      Obviously if I'd realised Gordon was quietly building sheds with bricks from the house foundations, I would have said something. But he's, er, a grumpy old sod and no-one liked talking to him to find out.

          I trust you noticed that the Rock was not included in those banks being added to the national debt.

            Too Right - the Tories would not have dared to be seen intervening with the unfettered deregulated free markets - they would have been cheeering the whole show on - as long as the punchbowl was freely flowing nobody wanted to spoil the party.

            ..... but the Tories would not have run such a bloated public sector(cost of mega-billions), would not have sold our gold(7 Billion loss), would not be wasting money on an NHS computer system(22 Billion estimated), and would not have allowed immigration to run riot and thus increase our unemployment by 2 million plus UK people(billions will be required in benefit payments) to compensate for jobs taken by the 2.6 million non-EU permit workers plus another million illegal workers.

              Gordon devised many impenetrable schemes where we just said, yeah, all right Gordon, that sounds good, and off he went. He went into intricate detail, but never thought anything through properly. Does that sound like a contradiction?

              You are contractors. You didn't like 'IR35'? Most of my government didn't like IR35. I bet you didn't know that. Gordon liked it though. Mopping up tax-dodgers, he called it. He also liked slipping his pet schemes through under the wire. He liked the subterfuge of it. Anyway, IR35 was a dog's breakfast. How many of you comply with it? Not many I bet.

              I'm glad I'm out of it now. I'm jacking up my wealth speaking in the US. As well as the middle east thing. If the European Union come up with something concrete I might end up there, you never know. But not like Kinnock or Mandelson.

              Tempus fugit. Good luck with the recession thing. I'm sure Gordon will "navigate you through the choppy waters". Ha ha! I remember when he was first given that line. It had to be explained to him three times before he'd use it.

              Sod off Blair !! We hate you for giving us Brown !!

                  Does that mean the IMF will come begging to us this time?

                    Does Blair join the Bildeburg group now? Or whatever it's called? You know - the ones who are really running the world.

                      There's absolutely nothing in it. We never sought to reach a consensus on the big issues at Bilderberg. It's simply a place for discussion.
