I Got It Wrong!

.
OK. Hands up. I got it wrong! Having heard that the government had invested £60 billion in the Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds Bank, I thought that ‘Bronco’ Brown and his associates were doing nothing to lessen the taxpayers' burden on the deal which is reckoned to be worth around £3,000 per person.

But, in fact, the government has done something about it for No. 10 now has a secret gift shop.

Yes, sirree, you can now buy a range of things from blank cards at forty pence to a model No. 10 door for £71. And if you’re looking for something else, you can now buy oven gloves, aprons, tea towels, mugs, coasters, fruit drops (is that why ‘Bronco' is always putting his tongue in his cheek when speaking?), mint thins, tea, candles, cufflinks, key rings, pens, book marks, address books, notebooks and even a teddy bear.

This information was dragged out of No 10 by a chap who goes under the name of ‘Dizzie’ who put an application in under the Freedom of Information Act.

Why this was necessary is a mystery as, clearly, the secret shop (no longer a secret now) is going to benefit the British economy. Isn’t it?
