shortages



the government has announced comprehensive plans to deal with the latest shortage of daft ideas.




Since leaving the EU there has been an unforeseeable surge in daft ideas. Since the demise of Dom the blinded, daft ideas have not been generated in sufficient quantity to cope with the demands of Government. Do not Panic!

It is unhelpful collecting daft ideas from America. Without Donald J (jenius) Trump they are not so prolific. Do not even think about Europe, they have exported all theirs.




Gove the grovelling and Patel the merciless are on to it. We can look forward to a barrage of crap any day soon, Failing this emergency measure, Grayling has been brought to stand by , from obscurity on the backbenches.




In the meantime DO NOT PANIC. All ministers will be issued with extra union jacks to stand in front of at press briefings. The Prime Minister has ordered three tiers of Union jacks at all his briefings to pacify the Mail and Telegraph.




The military have been alerted, and will seize the last remaining Idi Amin's book of competent governance, so all is in hand.




You have had the Pasties tax, the caravan tax, the extra room tax, Eat out to help out, and a whole raft of Covid measures, made null and void by travel and no quarantine.




This Government prides itself on daft ideas, we can assure you there will be no discernible shortage.




DO NOT PANIC, DO NOT PANIC BUY

invisibility


he wanted to be invisible

alive but no one could see

In youth it was irresistible

and what he wanted to be




to work on pranks and joking

confuse but unobserved

tickles, strokes, and poking

and more if they deserved




but was was seen protesting

on Cable street front line

against the black shirt strutting

of our tolerance decline




arrested for his opposition

to that glorious parade

he was given a proposition

jail, or the army, to evade




with marching feet he went to war

seen clearly by the foe

to hold the ground in battles roar

how long he did not know




rearguard battle of retreat

to open up a door

to snatch victory from defeat

from the Dunkirk shore




in peace he marched with ideals

his medals his on display

so clearly seen on newsreels

with his military beret




Aldermaston to Trafalgar square

ban the bomb campaign

so proud to say that he was there

against a policy insane







invisible is now so loathsome

he is totally unseen

just a mirage he has become

in a land once so green




just a homeless wandering tramp

seeking a charitable table

filthy, numb, and battle cramped

a mind no longer stable




if you want a superpower

a moral this should be

what will never empower

is crude invisibility













shuffle


Minsters in the passage

red box on the knee

pleading for their jobs

you can't possibly sack me




I know how to glad hand

I can take favours from all

the party will be poorer

when the back benches call




my friends will desert me

if my jobs expire

I will get no free gifts

and pay subscriptions to Esquire




I will have to get a second job

write articles for the Mail

like the slimy toads that gets my job

I'll make sure the buggers fail

Internal investing

 

The conservatives are very proud of the amount of UK companies bought out by foreign investors.

They claim the companies are more efficient and make more profit, which benefits the UK.


Horlicks!


The USA tax system allows overseas investment to be put against USA taxes due.

That means if a company like Trump owes 1 million dollars they can buy a golf course for 1 million dollars and pay no tax. US treasury loses, it does not mean the UK profits. Next year the profit from that golf course goes back to the USA and another golf course is bought.


Internal investors do not care about the company they bought. They want profit, short term.

So step one reduce staff, working conditions and pensions.

Step two disband research and development and maximise profit.

Step three sell with a healthy profit line on the accounts.



With no research and development the company will fail, they will not be able to employ old staff even if they could as they will not be trusted.


America has found it is not profitable to invest in research and technology. Out of one hundred ideas, only one if ever, makes it to being profitable. It is easier to buy up a company that had the idea and made it work.



The UK should impose a new tax of 50% of the company worth on any outside investor. If they are still serious they will buy, as they have nothing to lose.



With that tax revenue you could buy a new red bus with a slogan, or better still invest it in university research facilities.

not now



the bed is almost in half

you almost sit up straight

bored to death at nine AM

which feels like being late

wires sticking out of every part

monitoring your fate




the staff walk by on missions

with you, they can't delay

so much work, so little time

and far too little pay

they even have a slick procedure

when you pass away




visitors talk in whispers

your illness brings much fear

you promise to follow all orders

instructions you'll adhere

you know you will have to die

lord, not now, and not here

transaction tax

 



The reason for the increase in NI contributions was COVID?

Many small firms went bust.

Few made a stonking fortune.




Time to realign the tax system, not by increasing NI but a transaction tax on internet retailers.

They use the country's infrastructure and don't pay for it.

They out compete the high street by not paying a fair tax.




Just for a start, all internet transaction, which will include Amazon, eBay, Alibaba apple etc. will have to pay for every transaction 5 p would be a fair start.




If you are a billionaire you are not paying a fair tax. Paying your way is better than lopping off your head

Boris


Boris the oven ready

never makes mistakes

never watched a spider

never burnt the cakes

never rallied the troops at Harfleur

with a speech of do or die

just stood at the despatch box

telling lie after lie after lie

spoilt indulgent childhood

inglorious misspent youth

the lying little shite

will never tell the truth

There are no food shortages



Food shortages won't happen

that's just project fear

said that believable Nigel Farage

the BREXIT pioneer




now the shelves are empty

tis a pity and a shame

shift the blame to Covid

or immigrants are to blame




don't worry about your income

and your manufacturing skill

the brain drain and jobs overseas

as standards slip downhill




Boris the ever truthful

honest to the core

has promised the sunny uplands

and unicorns galore




there is money aplenty

you can get on the housing rung

just sign up as a Tory supporter

and get some honours for a bung
