I was listening to his rewrite of The Internationale the other day. He's taken a stirring revolutionary anthem and replaced the lyrics with weedy platitudes. However, he also sings it the voice of a sarcastic child so he might just be being ironic.

And that would be a problem why? You see that is the problem with you leftie types. Always expecting things to land in your lap. If they slash the public sector by 50%, I doubt the rest of us, that actually cough up all the taxes to finance it incidentally, will notice a great deal of difference. And the only difference for those public sector types is that they will be sitting at home doing nothing of any great importance rather than sitting in some poncy office, jealously blubbering away on facebook about snobs from Eton.Originally posted by Ruse View PostI read recently that 60% of all jobs in Newcastle are public sector so if David of Eton and all hus upper class friends(oh, ok I voted LD so only self to blame) slash public sector by 50% where are all the workers in the NE going to go to find work..., that's right further South
