I normally pride myself on supplying my own jokes, but this one is just too good to ignore: http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/business/government-takes-60%25-stake-in-al%11qaeda-200810141322/
A sad confession
About the Author
I've spent the last 15 years working with Drayton.
And, as well as writing copy for our clients, run the agency side of the business.
The funny thing is, that really was the case, in a roundabout way, when Al-Qaeda were the allies of the west against Russia.
Except, then they were freedom fighters.
And they were provided with everything they needed.
Absolutely true. The vagaries and follies of US foreign policy are astonishing.
Remember the days when people were bitching about the London Olympics costing £9bn?
That’s chump change now.
Monday last week, Brown/Darling said they’d be buying £25bn of UK banking shares.
One week later, that was £37bn.
What’s £12bn amongst friends?
(1.33 Olympics)
Also… why did these bank shares had become £12bn more expensive?
I’ve been following the markets and these companies’ share prices tanked over that 7 day period.
Surely they should have been cheaper?
Or are Darling/Brown such fuckwits they don’t understand that principle?
