And that's why you shouldn't share cosmetics!

They're definitely not there. He's trying to be funny and/or clever. And failing on both counts.
I was referring to government handouts to bankers - £3 trillion so far. Much of this money has gone straight to shareholders. Yet more benefit cheats.
Funny and clever? What like Stephen Hawking trying to undo Carol Vordermann's bra?
To get people off benefits you need to do the following things.
Force employers to consider exoffenders ...
Yep, that'll work ...
Pleb1: I'm forcing you to consider employing this ex-offender.
Pleb2: Er, okay.
Pleb1: Have you considered it?
Pleb2: Yeah.
Pleb1: And?
Pleb2: I'm not gonna employ him.

There is a bit of a diference between priming the banks that administrate almost our entire economy and hold the fortunes of most of the country.
And throwing money at people who aren't earning. I mean don't get me wrong I'm a fan of the welfare state.
But they are diferent.
If the banks took advantage of our idiot politicos it's our fault for voting in the f**k wits.

Are you still looking for a name for the podcast?
I don't get annoyed that what ever money the government is seen as "welfare." There is a million miles between civil servants salaries, MPs expenses and some one who gets money for having painful bum grapes that stop them working.
Some priceless comments in the 'have your say' box along the lines of ' a million's not much nowadays' and 'you're just envious'.
I particularly liked these two from some vegetables.
"I was made redundant in my 50s but had been prudent enough to save for hard times, and my retirement and not fritter it on fags, booze and unnecessary kids. After becoming redundant I used my brain and brought in extra income to support myself. So I do know what I am talking about."
"Who wants a poor and greedy member of the working class that wants to use politics as a road to new millions. I would prefer a millionaire MP who already has the money and is more likely to understand noblesse oblige, and more willing to accept the role of a public SERVANT."
Yes, there are some 'forelock touching as the Squire rides by' twats on there.
Bet if they were banged up in debtor's prison by Osborne they would say it was their own fault and they deserved it and 'thank you Lord Osborne.'

Osborne is the person form whom the 'Sir' Derek and Clive sketch was written. I imagine he's getting a dicky-back ride right now.
So what? I couldn't give a tinshit if an MP is swimming in moolah or glad to have some where warm and a free pie for the first time in their life.
Labours supposedly MPs of the people sprayed the banks with tax payers money, slashed taxes on the rich and encouraged run away property prices. In a way even Thatch might have thought abit much.
Is there an 'n' missing from the thread title?
