Any fellow Brits fancy saving six billion quid..?
Six billion quid.
We PAY six billion quid... to have all of our laws imposed upon us by faceless bureaucrats who we can't even elect, vote against, or oppose. We don't even know their names!
It puts that gym membership that you regret taking out into context, huh?
So, six billion quid to be part of the club most of us don't even want to be in - the European Empire.
We're about to be taxed an awesomely large amount on the basis of 'man made global warming' with the money to be collected - reports say - by the World Bank.
And we gave trillions to banks - only to see them pay themselves billions in bonuses within a year of doing so.
All the while, our political class have been fleecing us for millions with their dodgy expenses.
All rather unbelievable. But what's even more strange is that nobody has organised a million man march on Westminster to protest as yet.
So, presumably, the political class interpret our silence as an indicator of our consent to this grand scale fleecing.
We get the government we deserve, they say. Or do we?
Perhaps people still think there are differences in policy between Labour, the Conservatives and the Lib Dems.
We're finding it incredibly difficult to spot any differences.
And incredibly to difficult to surpress laughter at how stupid we all collectively are for putting up with the way we're being fleeced wholesale.
