Government is in touch - Smith

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has dismissed claims by a fellow minister that the government is out of touch.

Well, there I was thinking the government had as much idea of what was going on in the real world as a blind cave newt and then I read this. I dunno about you guys but I'm feeling very reassured.

Oh well that's alright then. No need to worry about anything anymore...

"fundamentally important that we listen to the British people".

Excuse me while I mop up, I just pissed myself laughing

Err, excuse me Mr Government - it's me, err, Welly, over here look, err, I work hard and pay you lots of money in taxes and VAT and council tax, and fuel and road tax, but, err, there seems to be thousands of imigrants coming over here and you keep giving them a free house and lots of my money - I've even seen them driving cars, smoking and wearing leather jackets.

When will you stop doing this please?

Hello?


Hello?


Hello?

LALALALA-I-CAN'T-HEAR-YOU!

Hmm, tax - taxed when you earn it and taxed again when you spend it. Oh, and if you forget to spend it they'll tax you when you die. Heads they win, tails you loose.
