In response to the Spring Statement delivered to the House of Commons in the UK on 25.03.25. by Chancellor Rachel Reeves, I say:
Let’s not cut welfare to fund warfare!
It’s getting more and more embarrassing.
From The Guardian 20.03.25:
‘Starmer warns Putin of severe consequences if he breaches peace deal’.
Europe (and the UK) responds by planning to re militarise, funded by a mixture of welfare cuts, tax rises and borrowing.
I won’t lie – it was a shock! Just as my good friend and co band leader Mr. Grimly and I were putting the final touches to the mix of our latest musical offering we got the call from our agent. It wasn’t a positive conversation.
J didn’t utilise the two hours available for sleeping very well before his Mum was at the door calling him down for breakfast. Round and round in his head was his parting conversation with Mo, a good hour after dawn.
‘I won’t lie to my Dad, Mo ….. I can’t.’
‘Ugggggghhhhh,’ retched Eb, hands on his knees, ‘Yuuuuuukkkkk’, he gasped, before retching again.
‘But what’s the point?’, Dob’s face creased into incomprehension as he carefully held the folded paper that seemed to have two mouths, depending on how you held it.’
‘It’s just a bit of fun,’ laughed Mo, ‘just like pushing this tank of smelly water around, no point, just fun.’
