"The War will soon be over and we'll all be home for Christmas". Yes, we've heard it all before...a cynical cliche uttered just when things are about to take a turn for the worse.

This week, the economic figures showed a further slowdown in the economy, despite the government's expectations of a slight upturn. No more boom and bust, we were told. Boom and bust had been abolished, we were told. Best placed to weather the economic downturn, we were told. All lies, lies and more lies.

Now Gordoom has put his cock on the block and predicted that the recession will be over by Christmas.  The latest trade figures indicate that there's fuck all chance of that. Unless, of course, Gordoom will fiddle the figures to make it look as if the recession is over. Given his penchant for shifting debt off balance sheet, dodgy PFI deals, and fudging the inflation measurement criteria, it wouldn't surprise me that the definition of what consitutes a recession has been rewritten.

Every other prediction the one-eyed dickwad has made has been completely wrong, except in his own mind that is. His mental faculties have deserted him and it is time that the rest of the cabinet, instead of nodding like onamental dogs on the parcel shelf of an Austin Allegro during PMQs, grew a pair and removed the mad fucker before he does any more damage to the country.
