Eavesdropping On a Cabinet Meeting

"We need to cut the budget" the Treasury Minister said "To try to get back in the black we’re deeply in the red Our creditors are losing faith we’re getting near our limit Gordon said he’d saved the world, I think he’s dropped us in it Hang on a m’o before we go lets speak to Work and Pensions Or better still the Bond Market to find out their intentions The economy is shrinking , the pounds begun to drop This will up the anti on the credit default swaps The interest we are paying now is going through the roof There’s really no way out of it we’ve got to tell the truth We’ll slash all public spending, that’ll do for starters If not, no doubt the IMF will have our guts for garters Lots of folk will lose their jobs, that really is a shame". "I know it is" the PM said "And we will get the blame. I know things will be difficult but people should be told it was Balls, Brown and Milliband who gave away our gold. Those three and Darling made this mess and got us in this plight Now we’ll be sacking thousands just to try to put it right and honest men will lose their jobs and that sticks in my throat Brown even signed the Treaty without giving us the vote. They try to blame this on the Yanks for letting Lehmans fall But that’s a lie they took their eye completely off the ball. They never made an effort to control the greedy banks When they tried for re-election the electorate said "No thanks" Their short sighted ignorance has brought us to our knees The entire nation now is set to feel the squeeze They are in denial of the nations cash position Once the cuts all start to bite they’ll blame the coalition" I Give Up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
