Whilst meandering around the net this pip emma - I came across a town printing its own money - without a licence!
The question is - if you can just print paper and it has an intrinsic worth - why not just print more? Not a good idea really, you see this breeds inflation, as more money goes into circulation, its intrinsic worth (based on its scarcity - if diamonds grew on trees would they be valuable?) goes down and you need more to buy whatever you need in Totness (is there anything anyone needs or even wants in Totness?). Solution for the good burghers who find that their pound goes a little less far, -print more - why? cos we can.
Sounds awfully like Gordon "im an utter cunt" Brown. When Gordon "my missus is a steg" Brown sold off our gold reserves at bottom dollar and swapping the proceeds for euros he was removing the underlying economic worth of the currency. So since a tenner is a promisory note, when you shuffle off to the old lady of Threadneedle street and ask for your real money, you are likely to be given a few euros instead of a nice ingot.
Gordon "eyes too close together" Brown is just doing what the people of Totness are at risk of doing. But on a massive scale. He is printing money hand over fist to give the idle, the feckless, the unemployable, the grubbers, the ignorant and the wastrells even more cash. Then he goes and spunks vast sums all over Patsy "i dont know my arse from my elbow" Hewitt in an orgy of jizz like a 70's money shot special. (now that is a nasty thought - and not something I would pay to see).
So, when you get that letter from your bank telling you your mortgage has gone up, don't look to them, look to Gordo.
The shame of it all is of course that he was voted in as chancellor and he will replace Tony. My bile rises - a post on democracy and revolution is festering.
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me - some one inscrutable once said. How on earth did they fool you all 3 times i ask?
If you voted for this shower, i will find you, each and every one of you and personally rub scotch bonnet peppers into some very sensitive mucous membranes.
