Today Osbourne wished everybody a very Merry Christmas by heaping even more misery doom and gloom upon them.

Instead of the four years austerity predicted in the election run up he now forecasts a mammoth six years of financial crisis. A time span which, incidentally, conveniently stretches beyond the next General Election; a fact that was not entirely lost on Osbourne as he hastened to add to the listening voters that we should remember this is in fact all Labour's fault just in case anyone was thinking of voting them back in...

I'm struggling to understand how or why the original miscalculation took place. Which numbers were crunched incorrectly? Or was it simply a case of not enough foresight to account for the continuous new imaginative ways our Governments manage to find to squander our billions? Like, for example, the billions given in overseas aid so that pensioners in other foreign countries don't freeze to death or die or starvation instead of our own ones. Or how about a few more bank bailouts to use fund bonuses to the Bank of Ireland, or the Bank of Scotland, or why not the Bank of Timbuctoo?

It wasn't all bad news however. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes Osbourne managed to elevate himself from total tosspot with the final announcement that, wait for it, fuel duty will not rise this year.

Why..

Thank..

You.

Care to explain now to the British electorate why it needs to rise year upon year anyway?! Or why Britain pays almost six times more tax on every gallon of fuel than any other European country? Tax freeze for one year? To get back in line with the rest of Europe we shouldn't be having any fuel tax rises for the next two decades.

In the five remaining shopping weeks leading up to Christmas one should also question the logic of making such a speech at such a time. Perhaps somebody should politely explain to our dear Minister in charge of fixing our broken economy that effectively telling everybody not to spend any money this Christmas probably isn't going to go down too well with the retail sector.

So don't expect to see Santa Claus coming anywhere near your town this year. Prancer has been butchered for food, the sleigh hasn't got any road tax, and he can't afford the VAT bill on all the fucking gifts!

This has all been planned for a long time, the EU make the laws, the Gov follow them to the letter like puppies. How did Government become so corrupt? Have we all been so totally brainwashed and dumbed down, that we once believed they were there for us? Did we really think CaMoron meant what he said when he was lying through his teeth for our votes? We believed he cared for Britain, we believed he cared about us, how naive we were, how trusting, how absolutely fucking stupid we were.

I think the Lion has woken and waiting to roar, I hope we have all stopped sleep walking, stopped believing that Politicians actually tell the truth, stopped believing they are there for us. We have walked too long with eyes wide shut. It is now a case of US and THEM, we are on our own. They are few, we are many! We can bring them down.
