Eggs and bacon at number ten

Not sure that anyone has spotted the irony.
Last time labour were in power, and on there way out : the normal state of affairs, was that Trade Union barons would desend on number ten for late night crisis meetings in smoke filled rooms, and they would send out for beer and sandwhiches.
This time round, labour are on their way out: Senior bankers are descending on number ten, for early morning crisis meetings, in smoke free rooms where they have rhubard yougurt, and eggs and bacon, sent in.
Kier Hardie would be spinning in his grave.

Anyone else, like me, thinks that breakfast meetings are the devil's own idea?
Breakfast, for me, is quietly sulking over a cup of tea. Not discussing important things!...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

No No NDG they are far too important and busy to waste valuable office hours discussing the biggest financial crisis since 1930.
I agree, with you though, i'm pretty useless much before 11.00 am0 -
I wish the government would get the pertol companies in for breakfast to explain why the prices are so high, or look to help out with £50bn of taxes to keep prices at a sensible level....Keep the right company because life's a limited business.0

Looks like the Banks will say 'Thanks for the money Darling' and stick two fingers up to him
