Gordon Brown Announces Worlds Biggest Boot Sale
A last feeble clutching of straws from the demented son of the manse.
Gordon Brown is to announce the sale of £16bn-worth of assets by the government in a bid to shore up public finances
But what’s he got to sell?
You see Maggie sold off the family silver that was North Sea Oil & Gas and continued to sell anything else of value, like a greedy daughter who just moved mother into the care home. She sold our water, electricity, even the railways. All eagerly grabbed up by Johnny Foreigner who knows a good deal when he sees one.
Then you Gordon, yes you, sold our Gold Reserves off at rock bottom prices, even being such a lame brained fuckwit to tell the world you were just about to dump tons of gold into the market, so depressing the price even further.
So what’s left?, The banks the government bought with OUR money are so toxic nobody will want them (the rest are owned by foreigners anyway).
So it’s cupboard under the sink time, you know where the sandwich maker lives that you used only once , the bread maker that you thought it would be lovely to have fresh bread every morning, but was a bastard to clean. The children's toys that they’ve grown out of and there’s only a few bits missing.
Pile it all in the Zafrira and let’s have a Boot Sale.
The prime minister will give details of initial sales that could raise £3bn - including the Tote, the Dartford crossing and the student loan book.
What next? Obviously the Post Office, but then; the roads, the motorways, the rivers, Naval bases, Air force bases, The National Gallery?, we have precious few things that are still publically owned, soon nothing, we will be an entirely foreign owned PLC.
I can’t see you raising £30 let alone £3 bio . You see when people know you are desperate to sell, they won’t pay top prices and as I said Johnny Foreigner knows a good deal when he sees one.
And what happens afterwards? once they’re gone, it’s no use complaining when Johnny Foreigner puts the price of crossing the Thames up to £10.00 each way. We have seen the way that worked with gas, electric and water prices. They’ll just tell you to “Get Le Stuffed”. ( or ask for a subsidy to bring prices down, like the railways)
I just have one thing to add Gordon. THEY ARE NOT YOURS TO SELL, THEY ARE OURS! We paid for them, you were given no mandate in this or any other Labour parliament to sell anything OWNED BY US.
Please, please just fuck off and leave us alone. Anything has to be better than you and your Government Of All Turds
Labour seems to want to do the maximum damage before they go.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to lie down now and hope to wake up knowing it was a nightmare.
ReplyDeleteThere go the flying pigs.
James, I can't decide if it's a deliberate Scorched Earth Policy
ReplyDeleteor more like a petulant toddler breaking a toy when asked to give it up, so no one else can play with it.
What James said.
ReplyDeleteIt applies over here as well. Ours are a financial nightmare, and from a country that had a healthy surplus, it has been given, in large lump sums, to the long-term beneficiaries to assist with the purchase of plasma televisions (around $5000 each person) and then working people got $900 for filing a tax return.
It sucks.

ReplyDeleteBoth!
Thing about the Dartford crossing is that the tolls levied paid off the costs about 8 years ago, they were then supposed to end and the crossing was to be toll free. But, the government wanted to keep the revenue and so the tolls remain, the profit is supposed to be used on road links in Kent/Essex, but you can believe as much of that as you want. Now if sold, the profits will go elsewhere and what was supposed to be free will end up costing people more.
ReplyDeleteOne good thing though is that this will kill off any hopes of a Labour MP getting elected in Kent or Essex.
As someone who lives for the day when the state is a lot smaller than it is now, the more sell-offs the better IMHO.
ReplyDeleteThe state only owns our roads by accident.
