See the world’s most watched clip – and rejoice

Bloody hell! I go away for five days, come back yesterday – and nothing’s changed.

Yet another Minister is found to have been been fiddling his expenses.

An article reads “Cameron talks of the pain of losing his son” which no doubt he felt he should share with us all, not thinking for a second that it might influence people’s votes one day.

And the Great Bloated Toad – so long acclaimed as a financial genius by all the experts – is told by the Bank or England that he can’t count. Not a good qualification for tell the world how to sort out its economies, is it?

As a headline in the Daily Mash puts it: THERE’S NO MORE MONEY, SAYS MAN WHO PRINTS ALL THE MONEY.

One thing we can all be sure of: however much or little money, it will all be provided by us. Every penny.

This morning, though, I was immensely cheered up by what is the currently the world’s most watched clip on U Tube.

It’s Daniel Hannan, a Member of the European Parliament eviscerating the Toad in Brussels.

See it it at http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/daniel_hannan/blog/2009/03/24/so_i_said_to_gordon_brown_i_said … and rejoice.

Then worry, because the one-eyed git seems to think it’s funny.

    Dear Sir Drayton,
    (I’m sure you don’t mind being knighted by your raving readers.)

    I enjoy your Marketing Insights immensely. Keep those words of wisdom coming, will you ?

    As for your Politcal Profanity and Outrages, I don’t get you all the time.

    But, that’s OK! For one, I’m not a citizen of Old Mother England.

    And two, I don’t think the Toads and Reptiles get it themselves over at your Parliamentary Circus!(do they used to call Whitehall by this archaic name? – those goofy English round-abouts! )

    Well, a Bean-counter Toad who can’t count ! What a bloody joke! ( The British electorate should vote to get that PM bloke to re-sit his bloody GCE O Levels Maths exams – “live” in front of his citizens)

    Keep more of the good DM stuff flowing, Sir Drayton !

    The bloated saviour of the world, fiscal titan and cyclops Stalinist, should heed one of the great Denis Thatcher’s quips about speaking foolishly, “Better to stand still and let everyone think you are a fool rather than dash around in a frenzy of initiatives and prove the point beyond doubt.”
