Prime Minister bends over, pleads with banks to be gentle


Canary Wharf, Axis of Greedy MFs

Prime Minister Gordon Brown has announced that the government has met with the banks to beg them to pass on this week’s three per cent cut in interest rates to their customers. The banks recently formed a coalition known as CUNTT (Corporates Unitedly Nonchalant about Troubled Times) to more effectively get across their shared vision for world recovery, which involves a “rebalancing” leading to there being far fewer rich people (but richer than they were before) and far more poor people. CUNTT was unimpressed by the PM’s overtures today. “It was when he bent over and touched his toes, that’s what did me in,” said one chief executive. “That hairy arse, it might have been willing but there’s no way I was. Turned my stomach, it did.”

Is most everyone broke?


Beloved took some dollars that were gathering dust into the travel agency to change them up, and was told that the amount was quite a lot compared to what some had been bringing in the same day—one person took in a dollar, and got 80 pence for it. That’s heartbreaking. At least, it is to me. How many of us are struggling so terribly while the banks still continue to lord it over everyone, individuals and small businesses?
