Taking the Biscuit
Mar. 14th, 2011 05:09 pmThe original is all over the net, so no idea where it originated:
Contributions have been thin on the ground for the past few weeks as even typing has been uncomfortable, but that seems to be easing off and I have a new, if short, post up at 'Where's The Benefit' on Nick Clegg's*** 'Alarm Clock Britain'.
* Notoriously right wing daily given to regularly labelling disabled benefit claimants as scroungers and frauds.
** Former banker and current Minister for Benefit Reform, this is like putting Dracula in charge of the blood bank.
*** Deputy Prime Minister and Leader of the Liberal Democrats.
A banker, a Daily Mail* reader and a disabled person are sitting at a table sharing 12 biscuits. The banker bolts down 11 of them and turns to the Daily Mail reader, "Watch out for the benefit scrounger, he wants your biscuit"
Any resemblance between the banker and Lord Freud** is purely intentional.
