So the chancellor is being really generous, and not putting petrol prices up by three pence. This, says he, will "help families and businesses".
No it won't. Since when has not doing something become a positive? Does that mean that by not beating up little old ladies or robbing banks I'll be helping to cut crime figures? Or does my not boiling kittens make ours a more humane society?
The world's gone mad.

Hm, yes, Frances, this is what we pundits call "Politician speak" :D
ReplyDeleteSpot on, Jenny.
DeleteHA! I love the way you think.
ReplyDeleteQuite right, Frances! Well said! x
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you agree, Teresa!
DeleteGood point. When I first saw your post title I was a little worried!
ReplyDeleteI thought the title was rather catchy?
DeleteSame as Yvonne, I when I saw your post title on my dashboard, I thought, gods, do I really want to read that?
ReplyDeleteWell, your chancellor is generous. Ours is... a little over-dramatic these days and speaks of her job like the Queen would speak of hers, something that's there to hold on to FOR LIFE.
As you know, our chacellor isn't the same as yours. He just does the money. I'm SO glad we have an apolitical queen. I'm a great fan!
DeleteA simple logical syllogism:
ReplyDeleteSocieties which boil kittens are inhumane
We boil kittens
Therefore we are inhumane.
However if one were to accept the statement
“Societies that do not boil kittens are humane”
We do not boil kittens
Therefore we are humane.
What wonderful posers you do post Frances.
Thank ou chancellor, GB, not me. He said it!
DeleteThey've got to find some way of appearing generous! Glad there are no actual boiled kittens.
ReplyDeleteThere may be boiled kittens, Rosemary, bit it's a long time since I boiled one.
DeleteI think we should all turn our negatives into positives today. Well said Frances.
ReplyDeleteA nice neat endorsement!
ReplyDeleteGood idea, Maggie. Well, today I didn't hit the tiny little ( and very canny) woman who jumped the queue in front to me at the market. So that's the Devizes violent crime control sorted. At least, for today.
