1983 And All That: Let’s Bomb Switzerland
IT’S not quite that bad yet. It’s more 1983 than 1984.
As Michael Foot predicted, we now have higher personal taxation, abolished the House of Lords, nationalised banks and achieved unilateral nuclear disarmament.
OK, we still have the bomb, but as soon as we’ve bombed everyone else bomb, we won’t need it any more. Or we could keep it and erect a statue to Foot in every major city in Europe..?
But what if the plan fails to save the FTSE with the Foot fails? What if the money it’s not enough and we end up owning lots of impoverished banks and impoverished bank workers?
Well, then, dear Foot follower, we invade Switzerland.
As Gerald Kaufman put it, the 1983 Labour manifesto as “the longest suicide note in history”.
And the Swiss are so very fond of suicide…

I with you all of the way, Coco!
Particularly on the ‘again’ bit.

‘I thought you knew why the Large Hadron Collider got broke; all that hot money f*cked the cooling systems.’
I think it was sabotaged! Not that it had a proper chance anyway. Too many cooks spoiling the broth!!!
Which brings me back to my assets. Too many Ubermenschen insuring things I had that I didn’t know existed and inflating the prices of borrowing something that existed only because it was written on the back of a fag packet - again!

Damn it all, Coco, why didn’t you ask me first?
I thought you knew why the Large Hadron Collider got broke; all that hot money f*cked the cooling systems.
Obviously I don’t give a toss about the Scottish mafia, but your hard earned cash matters!

Please don’t bomb Switzerland.
I have just spent two weeks securing all my assets in an underground vault and so have my pals from some major banks.
If Switzerland has to be bombed, I insist that you email me well in advance. Thanks.

Bombing Switzerland could be a major Godsend for the Labour Party it could be the major distraction and bad news burier that they’ve all been praying for!
