How old Gordy can slash £150m overnight

In the short term, all he needs to do is cut off our precious tax pounds from the accounts of those blood-sucking leeches . Bingo instant savings!

Also what about not holding the olympics here? Surely we cannot afford it?

Hey, DPB, how much would we save from that, then?

But they bring in more than that in tourism.

So we cut their allowances and turn Buck House into a Big Brother house and flog the TV rights to the rest of the world and voila - lots of money to help with large hole in economy!

pocketmonster - Do all the tourists come just to mock us for hanging on to this weird anachronism? And paying so much to do so?

Zen - they would if we created Big Bucker (as per Yadda)! Remember David Blaine's glass box? I rest my case!

Ah - I like that. And then they'd be laughing with us, not at us.

What? I don't want them to enjoy themselves, I want them to suffer! (mwa hahahahahahaharrrr)

No, no! [horrified emoticon] the tourists will laugh with us ... .

No, no. I cringe with shame when our delightful Royal family humiliate us, their loyal subjects and wage-payers, by doing stuff like this.

A little humiliation of them is truly owing.

cool. yes slash the royals budget.

let's not have an elected head of state though. we might get a george bush

Oh! I thought you were referring to the Royals laughing with us, zen!! (I was rather confused, I must say!)

Phew!

God preserve us from George Bush. Actually, having said that, elections gave us a Tony Blair and that wasn't anything to laugh about. What's a new democracy to do?
