George Osborne has vowed to stick to the Coalition’s economic plans even after Britain lost its cherished AAA credit rating amid concern about weak growth and rising debt.

Call me cynical but isn’t it funny how this was announced on Friday after the stock market has closed. Watch that baby plummet to the bottom on Monday taking Sterling with it.

In any case just how are we expecting to get the AAA rating back when the country keeps spending most of the money it gets on things that will only benefit people from other countries who never have and never will contribute?

 

The ship of a great state now holed with its metal rent
A countries money bought in tears is now almost spent
Forgive me dearest reader then this cynical tone of phrase
But I am now old enough to remember much better days
