Sharing the proceeds of ... er ... the recession

Very good, but you've not given him the trademark "rabbit in the headlights" look that so completely ruins his media interviews (said the man who couldn't draw to save his own life).

I hope when he finds himself in No.11 he'll have lost that look for good, and be a little more like the man in the caricature, because he's going to need a heroic stance, surgical gown, boots, gloves and a chain saw for sorting out government spending. Hopefully.

wv = pround, as in pounds going round and round?

I think I may have captured a bit of the rabbit expression with my previous attempt?

I was going for 'gazing into the black void of government deficits with sullen equanimity' this time. Dunno if that comes across properly.

Mark, this time he looks more like someone who'd have a chance of doing something proper. We just need to cross fingers and hope.

Sadly, I'm not sure hope is quite enough, but it'd be nice if it was. Unless of course Dave and George win and then turn into the sort of people we haven't seen since the Sainted Margaret, who was by no means perfect but was certainly the closest to it we've seen in the last 50 years.

I just don't believe any more the Tories have what it takes; hence the moniker. UKIP isn't cohesive enough - the Farage ego seems to be seeing to that - and the Libertarians are ruined by some of their more idiot supporters who are mildly amusing and Libertarian right up 'til the point that Muslims look like impacting the majority; then tbey want to kill them or ship them home to preserve Olde Englande, c. 1938.

Bloody depressing, really.

What's an honest bloke to think?

Pass the ammunition.....
