WHICH NATION WILL WIN THE MONEY THROWING EVENT?

As the summer recession overtakes parliamentarians, hopefully we shall see less, or no borrowed funds being used to prop up the regimes within Europe which have been spending non existent money for years, with gay abandon. This largesse has been mainly occurring under socialist led administrations, the biggest of which being the EU Kremlin in Brussels. The European Parliament just loves telling the rest of its member nations what the financial requirements are for the forthcoming year, which naturally is always an increase, never thinking of cutting back to suit economic conditions.

We should hope, therefore, that the holiday season will give the taxpayer some respite. Don't bank on it. The forthcoming Olympics, London 2012, will cost Britain a lot of money. So why not have an event on money hurling. This wouldn't necessarily be a physical exercise, but more of a brains trust. All we need is a panel of reliable economists assessing the stupidity of governments around the world over the last four years. Britain would obviously expect to be on the podium, possibly with a gold medal. We should be good at it, having gone through 13 years of Labour Governments; training schedules were rocked slightly following the May 2010 General Election. We can now report that we are back on track, throwing bad (borrowed money) into 'black holes', along with printing plenty. It would come under the heading of reality; people, however, only show interest in so-called reality when it's about celebrity.


NOT WHEN IT IS POSITIVELY REAL.
