A banker, a Daily Mail reader and a benefit claimant are sitting at a table sharing 12 biscuits. The banker takes 11 and says to the Daily Mail reader, 'Watch out for that benefit claimant he wants your biscuit'

It was probably the banker who's work created 24 biscuits in the first place. The government took 12 for tax.0

.........or they took 1 real biscuit, and turned it into 24 fractional biscuits.:eek:'In nature, there are neither rewards nor punishments - there are Consequences.'0

Who paid for the biscuits?0

i'm surpised the government didn't bake a shed load more biscuits to devalue the biscuits that were already there.saving up another deposit as we've lost all our equity.

Sting,Tony Benn and Billy Bragg sitting round the table with a DM reader and a benefit claimant. 100 biscuits.
Sting sings about injustice and then hoardes 80 biccies.
Tony Benn preaches redistribution, but takes 10 biscuits and does'nt re - distribute them (his real estate is worth £5m+).
Billy Bragg goes to the claimants mining village and sings about red flags, solidarity and greed, but keeps his 8 biscuits to himself in his Dorset mansion. During tea he bemoans greedy Bankers, but not greedy pop stars or greedy comedians such as Lenny Henry or Ben Elton than claim to be against greed.
The DM reader goes to take the 2 he earned, and the claimant holds out a hand.0 -
With all this talk of biscuits, may I remind people that it's almost the start of Lent?
Hardly fair on those biscuit munchers reading this thread...:)0 -
All I can think of now is The Biscuit Game.... for lads only.0
