Lions Led By Donkeys? A bit harsh on donkeys me thinks.....

This is the politician who was heard to quote that "a pound spent on defence is a pound wasted". A little hypocritical then when as Prime Minister and (effectively) the First Lord of the Treasury (oh, and the most senior Scottish politician) he is responsible for a large proportion of the defence budget being spent in........Scotland. Hmm, Trident (Faslane) and CVF (Rosyth). But hey, if you want to keep your seat then you need to grease the wheels right?

Mind you he has done such a good job so far. An enormous deficit like this, rising unemployment and an economy up sh*t creek (don't you dare say you were not warned you fat b*stard - 3.5% annual growth my arse) takes a great deal of work to f*ck up.

Oh and you can't wear as uit for toffee - seriously - he would make the best Saville Row suit look like a sack of spuds. And will someone sort out your ties!!!!!!! Slightly tighter maybe...........
