      Err, becuase the UK is but a few months from a debt downgrade, quickly followed by a boycott of gilts, followed by default and bankruptcy.

      But, don't worry, keep calm and carry on (voting Labour).
      So this one is next.

        Actually the poster said:

        Loose Lips Might Sink Ships

        they were a bit more accurate back in the day.

          I always thought that loose lips made an amusing farting sound

            It was never used in WWII: it was intended for use in the event of a German invasion, which (for the benefit of those who have been educated recently) didn't actually happen.

            Then a bookseller found a copy of it a few years back and started flogging prints, and it sort of grew from there.

              It's those various blokes that all get the little darlings Christmas presents.

                    Yeah, it's time has come. We ARE living under Nazi occupation.
                    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
