  Good lyrics, just about sums it up.

  I personally enjoyed David Cameron ripping into the budget. Had me in stitches.

  I listened to almost plausible Alistair, but realised that he wasn’t adding much because a lot of the taxes he wanted are already due to kick in soon anyway!

  I talked to a small retailer afterwards and he said glumly that he will find it harder to afford to travel to deliver for his business.

  But there you go, that’s Labour for you.

  the trial of gordon frown

  sinister priminster clenches
  the benches banister
  turns to his barrister

  but gets no protection
  even the defence has lost all affection
  browns missing a page
  of his plagerised script
  nothing to say
  all words have slipped
  from the mouth of the man
  who was never fit
  to run a wonderful country like this

  so he speaks of past times
  portrays the ways of the tories as crime
  though no word is heard
  of cheques he would not sign
  that could of protected
  our bright men that died
  on a forgein front line

  or of debt and reccesion
  as his party dine
  at our expense
  on red meat and wine

  he stands up and whines
  pining for tony bear
  but his furry friend is no longer there
  is this the cause for the frown gordon wears

  when he airs his ideas
  members sit back
  and pretend not to hear
  when will he quit
  and admit his end is near

  please no more years of red expenses
  going shopping in fear
  of all those products expensive
  let down by the ones
  that promised it all
  when they begun all thier fun
  not one single one
  thought about all the damage yet to be done
  we shall celebrate as labour doth fall
  just like the jester doth bawl
  as he drops juggled balls
  we can only hope that the tories
  will answer the call
  just as boris so chose
  took to his toes
  and rode to city hall

  please paint no 10
  in a new coat of blue
  all of us and our friends
  are voting for you

  Anyone remember Lionel Bart’s musical about
  Oliver Twist?
  How about a remake –
  Alistair!
  “You’ve gotta pick a pocket or two…”

  Darling’s Budget was like the mouthwash the dentist gives you. It was pale pink, mildly astringent, bland yet nasty and a preparation for some bloody business ahead.

  Chancellors with bushy eyebrows are always bad – Denis Healey, Norman Lamont, Gordon Brown, Alistair Darling. Even Stafford Cripps had a decent pair of puss moth caterpillars above his eyes.

  Silly song.

  Does Boris Johnson feel embarrassed [Ed: inappropriate]

  It even made Radio 4 news.

  @Ed Gibb

  Sorry, I can’t do a remake of ‘You’ve Gotta Pick a Pocket or Two’, for two reasons.

  1: It’s far too obvious and easy;
  2: I’ve already used that song to have a crack at the BNP and Nick Griffin.

  I’m sure some more Labour-related song parodies will turn up, though.

  @spencer

  I’m disappointed that you found it silly. Perhaps you’d care to expand on that, especially as I missed the R4 broadcast in question?

  Regards to all

  @dungeekin
  ‘…pick a pocket or two’
  Sorry if it’s obvious and easy. I hope that it’s
  obvious how easy it is for these theives to take
  well over half of my income.

  Regards, Ed

  They do seem to have a gift for taking every penny of our cash, don’t they?

  Shame they lack the capability to do anything meaningful with the money.

  ‘…indeed burgling, when viewed in Darwinian terms, was clearly approaching a crisis. Burglars were finding that almost everywhere had been burgled. Burglars were forever bumping into one another, stepping on the toes of other burglars. There were burglar jams on rooftops and stairwys, on groaning fire-escapes. Burglars were being burgled by fellow burglars, and were doing the same thing back..Returning from burgling, burglars would discover that
  they had been burgled, sometimes by the very burglar that they themselves had just burgled!’
  From London Fields, by Martin Amis.
  Pretty good description of our Houses of Parliament, and No.10, isn’t it?

  Obviously touched a bit of a raw nerve by asking about Boris Johnson’s allegations that his [Ed: not this website] had been hacked during the mayoral campaign.

  Funny we never heard any more about it. It did its job though. The damage had been done.

  Dungeekin asks for more on Boris Johnson’s allegations that his [Ed: the report is about his emails] hacked:

  http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Sky-News-Archive/Article/20080641311932

  but there was never anything further. Perhaps there was no hacking, just a nasty allegation that was impossible to disprove.

  @spencer: actually his blogspot for boris watchers has been hacked seems as though these people have nothing better to do than criticize a man who actually has the publics interests at heart! another example of biting the hand that feeds you
