"The Chancellor of the Exchequer regrets to announce that this year's NHS budget has been stolen by a chap calling himself BigDick69 because someone--not naming names--forgot to use two-factor authentication on the national wallet."

So the UK went from trickle down economics to outright MLM economics. Perhaps the next PM will just go into each and every shop in England and demand protection money. Maybe the Sheriff of Nottingham can join in on the tour.

What is up with Goldman Sachs and having lots of people in government? It seems like a ridiculous number of high level politicians in the US and apparently the UK used to work for them.
