Topic: The Promised Land

[Clive]

Over five thousand years ago Moses said to
the children of Israel , "Pick up your shovel,
mount your asses and camels, and I will
lead you to the promised land."

Nearly 50 years ago, Harold Wilson said,
"Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses,
and light up a camel, this is the promised land."

Then Gordon Brown stole your shovel, taxed
your asses, raised the price of camels,
and mortgaged the promised land.

Now David Cameron has loaned my
shovel to a third World country,
(he hasn't realised yet that WE are
now a third World country), raised
my fuel bills, lent my money to a crowd
of incompetent, greedy "merchant bankers"
and increased Vat to 20%.

I am so depressed last night I called
the Samaritans, they diverted my call
to a call centre in Pakistan .
 
When I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited and
asked if I could drive a truck.

Sadly true.
