You can actually see the industry speak creeping into what he's saying :oops:

Which is why you were happy to bail out the banks but left Vauxhall to twist in the wind?

They seemed quite happy to let the places when you buy things twist in the wind too - and fail. I’m thinking Woolworths. The whole thing wasn’t handled very well, as it Mandy?

I still say the next star wars film ought to have Mandy as the dark lord .........

He scares the hell out of me. I'm convinced he will be our first President ( shudders )

Following on from Mandy's 3 strikes and you're out rule: Having had to resign twice from the government/cabinet for being a lying fraudster, he must be on his last strike now.

Does this apply to Royal Mail as well? I see we are experiencing the second one now.

Will Three Strikes Ever Really Get Implemented In The UK?

That's a very good point - it's not gonna make people likely to buy more stuff, is it? :)

Everyone seems to forget that we'll have a new Government soon, which means there's a good chance that everything the government announces now just won't happen.

Yeah I was thinking that, but the Tories will essentially be able to get away with keeping stuff that isn't popular, but that they like anyway. And I'd suggest they'd want to do that even with issues that isn't actually law or even stuff they tried to shout down - can you tell I don't trust politicians? ;)
