Caligula’s Lamb

Just in case you missed this one.

Perhaps delegation is something you learn at Eaton.

I’ve always thought that Osborne was “new money,” and just a tosser who has no class.

What I’d missed is that he is blessed with all the cowardly charm of Caligula.

Dave’s recognised in Osborne an acceptance that he will never be liked and tried to use him as a shield for the rough stuff whilst he hugs the huskies and hoodies – and now Osborne’s found himself with a couple of patsys.

He used to use the Liberal, Alexander, for this but in his Caligula mode he’s obviously an equal ops thug.

My better side feels I should be against torturing kittens but then I remind myself that she applied for the job and will be pouring water on drowning poor people.

She’ll spout any bulsh**t the Treasury want her to.

Feel your toes curl as you watch this.

Moonfaced Comic Smokes out Sanctimonious Creep

Wow! What a sanctimonious creep.

There must be PR merchants on double time working out ways of isolating Cameron’s remarks to moon-faced Jimmy. What are we to make of Cameron, on the side of all those strivers who have paid their taxes and saved up to see Jimmy at one of his gigs? What were his handlers thinking about letting him run with this one?

If you type, “city of London” offshore jersey – into Google you get 310K hits. If you add  – corruption – you get 2,000,000 more hits.

If you just look at the first 7 hits for the first search you’ll get enough reading to last you till Christmas and back following all the links.

Ok, there’s Lichtenstein, Luxembourg, Switzerland & Delaware but these guys are amateurs when it comes to Tax evasion/avoidance – for real expertise you need to go to London. Well not London as such but “The City,” which is a symbiotic parasite on the UK. All the offshore places are only a desk and a fax machine away.

Try – “richard desmond” and tax avoidance jersey- in Google it gives you 260K hits.

Now try – “barclay brothers” tax avoidance channel islands – that only gets 192K hits, so it will be interesting to see how The Telegraph and The Express handle the Cameron – Jimmy Carr spat.

The whole f*%”ing thing is corrupt but hey.

Now we need to get Cameron to comment on the morality of Trusts.

Type in – “tax planning” and beneficial trusts City corruption – in Google and you get 490K hits.

Trusts make Swiss banks look like Facebook when it comes to openness.

I’m not sure that the Labour crowd have the skills to exploit Dave’s cock-eyed spasm of morality but those PR boys and girls will be briefing like hell over the next few days toiling in those offshore vineyards of the square mile.

Two points for being quick off the mark

Who’s the German President?

You give up? Exactly; only his mother and driver know his name. He gets to shake hands with all the dignitaries, inspects guards of honour and I’m sure his tolerance of being sung to by out of tune children is almost limitless. That’s the sort of President I want for the UK.

He may have awful children whose relationships haven’t been up to much but that wouldn’t matter and hardly anyone would know or care. He isn’t head of the church – they have other chaps for that sort of thing and that’s why they don’t have unelected clerics making decisions on their laws.

His son may have a view on architecture, fringe medicine and produce awfully nice biscuits but if he has, no one takes much notice.

The Presidency may be expensive but after all you wouldn’t want your head of state living in decrepitude – so it’s an acceptable expense. And if like the Austrians, you end up with a dodgy president occasionally, you simply mutter something about him being only a sort of Nazi and get another one quick.

I hear it said that our Queen is admired the world over and there are a good number of countries that have our queen as their own head of state – at little or no expense to themselves. Perhaps that’s what we should do; adopt someone else’s queen pay a chap to be her representative and occasionally have her on a royal visit for a week or so every ten years and Bob’s you uncle. I’ve not heard of any country that doesn’t have our queen as a sort of legacy think, “Now that’s a good idea. We’ll have a hereditary head of state and we’ll invest them with regal powers that we (the politicos) will use.” OK, Russia’s a bit like that but their Mafia has a long way to go before they can match the sophistication of the City of London.

In Rome they used to give people more circuses when bread was getting low – I think we should keep those flags handy for the next circus.
