Hooray. ID cards are dead (for most of us)

Read it here in official-ese. Now we’ll need to keep an eye on the database and list building which is going on in less controversially titled schemes.

Cartoon: Women and children first!

Labour lost the first election of 2010 because they deserved to. The same applies to the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats and the result is the faustian bargaining of these two parties in coalition government.

There is always a lot of angst about betrayal and treachery on behalf of all parties in the aftermath of any important vote. This is pointless other than as catharsis or purging. I think Otto Von Bismarck’s observation that ‘Politics is the art of the possible’ is true. So, the Tories and the Lib Dems have been forced to make the proverbial lemonade from the vast host of lemons gleefully given to them by the voters.

If Con-Dem succeed in getting the steerage passengers off the sinking ship – built by the bankers and their bailouts – we will all have cause to be grateful.

Good luck everybody. Women and children first!

Cartoon: Because we are BIG…

Writing;

You know, you need to see the BIG picture, the BIG idea.

Clinching the BIG deal. Nobody wants to clinch the little deal. Who wants to do that? Be a little deal clincher? A small shot.

When you want a BIG burger, you want a BIG Mac.

You go to the funfair you ride a BIG dipper.

You turn on the TV and you see BIG Bird or your favourite, the BIG Bad Wolf.

When I was growing up, I wanted to be the BIG man. I never wanted to be the little man. Even the little man wanted to be the BIG man.

When you go to America, you want to go to the BIG Apple, not the Little Apple.

When I get up in the morning, I want a BIG breakfast.

I want my girlfriend to say “good morning, BIG boy.” To which I will reply “I’ve got a BIG day today. I’m meeting with the BIG cheese from the BIG paper, to talk about the BIG bucks.”

And she’ll turn to me, rolling her big blue eyes, and say “BIG head.”

I’ll retort “what’s the BIG deal” and give her a big kiss and get into my BIG car and set off into the BIG wide world and she’ll give me a BIG wave and close the door of our BIG house and look in the mirror and ask herself… “does my bump look BIG in this?”

Because we’re BIG, we’ve become the biggest thing in the UK. Because we’re BIG, we arrange more MPs in the UK than anyone. Because we’re BIG, you can watch us use your money on over 450,000 media outlets.

In my BIG meeting, I’ll turn to one of the BIG hitters and I’ll say “I love this show, it’s going to be BIG.” There’s only one small problem. My fee. I’d like it to be, erm, what’s the word…

Politics. A BIG society needs a BIG dose of reality.

This attempt at satire based on on an advert for Barclays Bank – one of our ‘economic’ success stories enabled by the national politics.

Drawing: Voting Day – General Election 2010

It has been a very financial election. Don’t forget to vote.
