They know the facts perfectly well. The word you are looking for is 'lying'.

55?

It's meant to be 45, with a soapy tit wank and a pot of gold.

Didn't you get the memo? Perhaps you were at the 'Empowering coloured lesbians on pogo sticks' workshop?

no, of course I mean

And you were paying for it....... (the workshop that is!)

I feel there is a lot of prejudice against public sector workers regardless of what the media say and many people believe the usual myths eg lazy imbeciles who never do any work, get massive salaries, huge pensions etc. If you go on any internet forum where public sector workers are discussed, you will see thread after thread where public sector workers are viciously attacked. The Mail is simply pandering to existing prejudices and beliefs.

What is the root of this hostility? I believe many people feel if your job does not involve selling goods and services and making a profit, your job can not have any worth hence the hatred many people feel towards public sector workers. When a country is facing economic difficulties, people need scapegoats and hate figures and I feel during the current recession public sector workers have filled this role.

And, of course, they're funded out of taxes, which no-one likes paying, and so they get a vindictive kick out of kicking them, and justifies to themselves why they pay so much tax, coz of dem jobsworf's, innit.

Reclaiming "methinks" for the nation

Latest blog post - 2011 - a review (updated 07/10)

Except when you need to ring the council for something and then its a disgrace you had to queue on the phone and it took 3 days for a new wheelie bin (with a spy camera in it!) and who pays the taxes for all this...

With about 500,000 public sector workers finding their jobs cut, it's nice to see that the Mail has got its priorities right, with this gem on their thisismoney website

Where cuts will hit house prices most

House prices house prices, all they ever talk about..

We want to know what the cuts will do for babynamestealing and daughterswholookhotterthantheirmothers.

Maybe there's hope.

All the best rated comments are saying how awful the cuts are or slating the morons going "good", all the worst ones (and there are some real wankers) are worst rated. Perhaps even the Mail's anti-public sector propaganda campaign can't disguise the fact that 490,000 jobs gone means a lot of ordinary, hardworking people will get royally fucked.

In other news (assuming Ed Milliband doesn't turn out to be a dog rapist) Labour have won the next election, because absolutely no one other than a small group of the ultra-rich is going to vote for Cameron's lot again.

He'd still get my vote. I'm a cat person.

Have they made it illegal now? Bloody nanny state...

There was little new "news" in the cuts speech. Carefully co-ordinated "leaks" combined with official announcements over the past month meant it had been drip-fed to the public to soften the impact of being hit with it all at once. Very kind of them. Anyway, spending cuts my arse. It's just a smokescreen to slash the public sector, to enforce the Tory ideology. They could've at least been honest about it instead of parrotting their usual mantra whenever they regain Government of "clearing up Labour mess, clearing up Labour mess".

I thought Johnson was good. Alexander being questioned by that well-known leftie Andrew Neil was hopeless.

Worse than hopeless. His contribution to the Big Society is playing cricket...
