Greek Classic unearthed

Or is it a tragedy ?

Anyway the Greek Inland Revenue - now there's one area of the job market about fill a lot of vacancies, surely ? 

Just who the f★★k can you trust

If you really believe them when they said they were all "too close" - come back next year and see if they really meant it!

Crocodile tears

I must admit I am struggling with this one - even by Gordon Browns' standards. 

Not the fact that a parent suddenly recalls the horror of having their childs medical condition plastered all over the front page of The Sun - but the fact Gordon Brown did nothing, absolutely nothing at the time to demand where the editor got her information and, if only for the sake of his child, insist she did not publish the story.

When the privacy of your own children and their medical condition takes second place to maintaining your relationship with a tabloid editor, who then dumps you and your party, there is only one overwhelming emotion still lingering five years down the line I suppose and it's a dish best served cold.

Perhaps Fraser Brown will forgive his father for this in years to come.

Not so clever now . . . . .

Exactly one week ago to the delerious approval of the Centre Court crowd, Murray played his trick shot en route to a very unconvincing win over an unseeded opponent and observed afterwards that he has never seen any other player execute the same shot.

I'd have to agree with him there but then again players like Rafa Nadal don't do exhibition tennis - they win Grand Slams and lots of them.

Enough said

Every cloud . . . . .

Gordon Brown’s deliberate and reckless public spending spree in the months before he and his party were crushed, was a bit like blowing the oil wells just before disappearing into the sunset.  

As we all now know to our cost, the Blair/Brown project cynically engineered a bloated public sector workforce, hoping to nurture future generations of voters. A win win situation because when, inevitably, it all came to an end, the Brown & Balls version of Saddam Husseins’ final days in power had guaranteed there would be a backlash - a veritable shit storm when the incoming party set about attempting to address the grotesque imbalance between the public and private sector.

It’s worth remembering, as we stare down the barrel of mass industrial action, not a single trade union leader voiced an opinion never mind a concern as Gordon & co. pissed our finances up the wall. But now it’s a different story and bankrupt Britain was all someone else’s fault – in the world of the TUC.

Still, with supreme irony and much hilarity, it’s good to know that the demise of the lefts favourite rag would appear to be one legacy of Labours car crash economy.

Revenues have plummeted and in particular, recruitment advertising. Public sector job advertising, the Guardianistas’ golden goose, has fallen by £41m in the last four years as Government departments have slashed spending on advertising. 

All of a sudden they have realised they don't need . . . . . . .

Community Project Leader / Healthy Eating Initiative / Horticulture

£25,639 per annum

Research Officer – Happiness and Wellbeing

£31,998 - £38,737

Social Worker - Talent Pool

£30,345 - £37,851

The Guardianista just like the party it supports is haemorrhaging cash, as well as readers, at an alarming rate and employees have been warned it will hit the wall in 3 -5 years unless radical changes are made i.e. redundancies on top of the significant numbers already cut, but which have failed to put a dent in £33m losses per year.

Now surely what would follow more job losses would be sustained and lengthy mass strike action by Guardianista NUJ members.

Something to smile about when your kids are not being taught, your buses, trains and planes are not moving and every other major pain in the arse inconvenience which is about to be forced upon you in the months ahead - Polly Toynbee freezing her tits off on a picket line.

Better get a bucket

Several days ago when Bob Crow sat down with his communist colleagues in the RMT to discuss when they might next like to call their members out on strike - the second item on the agenda would have read; 

2. Which group of hard pressed citizens would we most like to gratuitously and
cynically kick in the bollocks ? (apart from, as always, the London commuters)

Motion passed comrades - to a raucous show of support - "let's shaft those scumbag middle/upper class, Tory voting, champagne quaffing, strawberry munching, Wimbledon tennis toffs. 

And after deciding to strike throughout the second week of Wimbledon, Crow & co. announced the venue for the union leaders 50th birthday party - Scotts of Mayfair where seemingly this week Crow and three others enjoyed a £650 lunch including beer aperitifs served in crystal glasses, Morgassi Superiore 2009 Piedmont with their meals before finishing with a round of whisky.
