Drone Count
The Health Department, you know, responsible for the cash strapped NHS, has squandered the tax revenue of one Drone working for the next year and nine months, every single week, come rain or shine……..on a Christmas Tree.
It is, they say, ‘a tradition’ that one lone minimum wage earner should get up every morning, go to work every day, slog his heart out, for the next 21 months, so that they can have a Goddam Christmas Tree.
A Department of Health spokesman said that all trees came from sustainable forests and were replanted and recycled after use, adding that all the costs included the dressing and disposal of the trees.
That’s OK then, I’m sure the poor blighter feels better knowing that.

But Auntie Anna, it’s not their money…it’s Their Money. This is something of a capital case.
I’d like some Their Money to spend. Much easier to spend than my money.
Sorry about the change of subject here, but an awful lot of Their Money has been spent on f*cking up the education system so much, those who contributed Their Money no longer care where their money goes.
This allowed a BBCNews Channel correspondent this evening to say that the Rocking House Nursery paedophilia case had ‘plummeted new depths of depravity’. So shocked was I, I lay prostitute on the floor.
Their Money goes on Victim Support Units that don’t support victims, Family Courts that don’t support families, Ministers for Wimmin who don’t support Women, and Comprehensive Education about as comprehensive as Tony Blair’s evidence to the Chilcot Enquiry.
And by the way, there’s been little in the way of comprehensive discussion of Peter Hain’s feet recently. His feet are entirely incorrect. They should be comprehensively stuffed up his bum.
Sincerely

Nicely spotted once again, Anna. The problem with these cunts is that none of them have actually had to live in the real world; they’ve never – none of them – had to have a proper job – ever! Hence we get the nonsense we see highlighted on this blog and others. The sooner ‘professional politicians’ are debarred from seeking election, the better!

Oh but it cheers all the poorlies up no end to see a lovely twinkly tree, doesn’t it? And don’t let’s forget the ‘Christmas Coffee Morning’ each department hosts, where a nice finger buffet gets put on so that all the Consultants can mingle with the Grade 2 clerical staff (yeah, right) and not spend all their time talking to each other and the surgeons and the senior secretaries and the ward sisters! ….. what fun chats they all have …

Fuck trees, have you seen Monckton on Obo? 33 minutes, but devastating deconstruction on the cam-lite, sorry climate scandal.
Anyway, why not throw away a few drones on a tree to gladden the hearts of the poor, ahh -

Isn’t there a census coming up soon? Perhaps we should all put our occupation down as ‘Drone’, state our religion as ‘Drone’, list our marital status as ‘Drone’ etc., – after all, aren’t we all required to by the State to state our state with total honesty, on pain of a £1,000 fine? Let the State argue with our statement maybe…

Rather an interesting idea Gloria, I may well be tempted. Of course I’ll have to discover the word for drone in Gaelic.
Thank you Mr Wilson for ensuring the tone doesn’t diminish further. Not that I’m a lady but I continue to practice.

Anna,
I’m uneasy about you using the word ‘drone’. I accept that, entomologically speaking, they have an essential function.
But in common parlance the word has connotations of useless idleness. As such, it leaves you open to obvious attack and denigration by the forces of evil.
I think you need a term which would be better understood and not subject to manipulation. I can suggest only ’serf’, but I am sure there is better.
