Who bank-rolls the Labour party? The big unions get on the blower to Mandy and twist his arm to use taxpayers cash to pay for workers who aren't needed. Back to the 70's folks!

Perhaps we could sell cheap cars to China and India that they can't compete with. Especially now we are a Socialist State.
Mind you....if we don't keep people in work we really will be looking disaster in the face. I'd rather this than the banks which we only really need a few of.

Yeah baby from ABBA 1977:
Que music and vocal backing ...
"You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the musics high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
Youre in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...
You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen
..."
