Drumming up the Public Debt on bongo drums!

In the middle of a recession and everyone is thinking about the dire economic mess..... Well, not everyone. Some in the government have got Fred Goodwin Syndrome. It has been thought necessary to send government vets on country-wide one-day conferences. These include such topical subjects as learning to play bongo drums.

Shadow environment secretary Nick Herbert said of this nonsense, "It's incredible that when the nation's budget deficit is soaring and British farming faces a serious animal health challenge in bovine TB, the government thinks it's necessary to teach its vets how to play bongo drums. It's these useless Defra ministers who need their heads banging together to stop wasting public money and deal with this dreadful disease, which left unchecked is costing millions of pounds and increasing animal suffering."

But being stupid is an essential part of a modern CV. As is being greedy, being rude, and being selfish. Nice work if you can get it!

I really hope that when this ghastly government has gone to the knacker's yard, the Conservatives have the good sense to play a straight bat and never get involved in such spendthrift nonsense as these politically-correct prigs and prize cretins do.
