    This is getting more and more ridiculous.

    This and some stupid post about Jaffa Cake prices has probably pushed the Ridiculous barometer from 41 to 42.

    I agree. We need another post about why interest rates won't rise for the next 100 years to balance it all out.

    We'll soon have the ONS reporting their (fiddled) figures that Q42009 Britain came out of recession. That joins the (fiddled) figures on unemployment and inflation demanded by Clown to maintain the illusion that Labour is in control until the 6th May election.

    After that, there will be unleashed a tsunami of taxation, snuffing out any export-led growth due to the £ collapsing 25% (the worst decline since WWII)

    The real rate of inflation after QE is well over 5%, maybe near 10%, so interest rates will be UP! UP! UP! and distressed home-owners will be repossessed and a wave of properties will be dumped at auction.

    Britain has yet to see the true, awful impact of 10 years of Clown's bungling and profligacy!

    I call for a petition to ban Macaque. Trying to convince people a 70% crash is coming based on some empty wine bottles in the neighbours trash is straight-jacket territory.

    On the plus side, it's great for it's comedy value.

    Love it.

    Excellent parody of many of the loopier bull posts on here.

    So the bi annual party your neighbours have is more reliable than rising house prices and falling unemployment?


    Unemployment isn't falling.

    Macaque, and his legion of thankers.

    So probably only two or three, if you exclude the sockies.
