And we are joined now by the BBC's Economics Editor, Stephanie Tits, in Washingtton.
SYEPHANIE TITS, OF THE BBC.
Stephanie, your father was one half of Tits and Swan, wasn't he, what can you tell us about the debt crisis which could engulf the world, again? Yes, he used to mouth irritating faux-sardonic songs from his wheelchair, tuxedo up top and normally covered up in a plaid blankie, down below, whilst the other geezer
FLANDERS AND SWANN.
WORSE THAN THE FUCKING GOONS.
tinkled the ivories.
So you could say, Gavin, that clearly journalism is in my blood.
Yes, dunno what Simon Cowell'd make of that sort of an act, a singing cripple. But talking about cripples, how's President Obama gonna come out of this?
Well, the crisis is over, Gavin, for now at any rate. Basically what happened was that something nearly happened, but didn't, in fact, it was never gonna happen but being journalists we had to pretend that it might happen, otherwise there's no point in me being here to cover it. I mean, clearly, everybody knew that it wasn't ever gonna happen but everybody had to go through the motions ......
A bit like one of those backbench Labour rebellions, all piss and wind...???
Yes, that's right Jeremy, it was, as we economists say, all piss and wind, all got up to frighten the voters. What they do is they tell people that they're not gonna get their pensions or salaries or anything and then they say Oh, alright then, but we'll have to cut them right back, now, which would you prefer, no salaries and pensions at all or most of your salary being diverted to the richest people in the world and you keeping a little of it? It's a no-brainer, as we economists say......
it's what the Coalition is doing, here, frightening everybody, setting groups of workers against one another and siphoning all the money off for its friends, giving tax breaks to people who hardly pay any tax at all.
You mean like Georhe Osborne letting his mates at Vodasphone off billions of pounds in tax?
Yes, Gavin, that's right, and blaming the nurses and teachers for it, it's what we economists call divide and rule, But you know that, anyway, we're all part of it, you and I, the BBC, our colleagues at skymadeupnewsandfilth, everyone in MediaMinster. Just as long as we keep on telling people that there's no alternative to them having their living standards halved, there's no alternative to an unelected govament of spivs and chancers, and there's certainly no alternative to the financial terrorists raping the assets of entire countries then our jobs're safe, simple economics, really. No point in us slinging mud, mud, glorious mud at the people who employ us. I mean, I didn't come into showbusiness to offend rich people. There'll be another crisis along shortly, to keep people on their toes, and keep me flying around the world at taxpayers' expense. there's fucking dozens of us here, just now, covering this made-up nonsense for the BBC.
Thanks Stephanie and enjoy the shopping in Washington. That was Stephanie Tits, our economics editor, there; yes, I know, beggars belief, but she has fucked half the Labour front bench. And now, it must be nearly ten minutes since we've had a weather update, so over now to Cindy Tits, who has the latest for us.
THANKS, GAVIN AND IT'S A BLEAK OUTLOOK
FOR ANYONE WHO WORKS FOR A LIVING
BUT THE REST OF US SHOULD BE ALRIGHT
Miss Pippa Arse unfortunately was not present when Zara, daughter of bad-tempered old slapper, Anne and that dopey, stuttering buffoon, Mark Philips, wed her stable lad. Probably too common for Anne, is Pippa. The Princess Royal - fuck me, Jesus but there is an infinity of titles these fuckers award themselves - is famously snooty, tight-fisted, randy and up her own arse, rather like her late Aunt, the dipso, Margaret, indeed, Anne's mother, Queen Tupperware, is hardly known for her benevolence, except with my money, to herself and her kin.
The rest of the riff-raff were there, though, for a night-before party on the former Royal Yacht Britannia, a wedding in a sealed-to-the-public Edinburgh kirk and a piss up from a vodka fountain in Holyrood House, one of Brenda's Northern palaces. The rugby player groom was supported by stars from that sweaty firmament, Lawrence Coke Dealer Dalallio among them and the Firm was out in force, Brenda and Phil the Greek, Mr and Mrs Prince Gormless
THE TORTURED YOUNG WARRIOR, ANXIOUS TO BE OUT SHOOTING WOGS.
FROM A SAFE DISTANCE.
I SIMPLY SAY THAT IF PRINCESS DIANA WAS ALIVE SHE WOULD WANT ME TO BE PRIME MINISTER.
But in Ruin's Britain, providing a spectacle of extravagance, unmerited privilege and ostentatious contempt, the second in a few months, the House of Windsor-Saxe-Coburg-Battenberg, via its extended network of benefits claimants, courtier pimps, panderers and shamelessly enthusiastoc arselickers can be deemed productive; showy Ruritaniasm for the Sun-reading imbecile is, after all, a form of public service. Maybe good Queen Brenda, never one to upset Her Govament, not even in the face of an unprecedented and unmandated attack on the rights and living standards of millions of her subjects, can add to the happiness of this sporty couple, Zara and Wotsisname, by giving the young couple, to the nation's tumultuous delight, a county or two, she cannot have used them all up on Prince Gormless's recent wedding. Or maybe she can, but she can always declare some new ones, always enough money for Royal Dukes and Earls and Princesses, just the poor and the sick should go to the wall, the best people must retain their tiaras and palaces, their Chipping Norton mansions.
Along with bent senior cops and bent senior politicians in the pay of skymadeupnewsandfilth, the regular jamborees, jubilees, tours, birthdays, ski-ing holidays and weddings of this filthy gang of Greco-German slag upstarts must comfirm our image, abroad, as the most Northerly banana republic in the world. God save the Queen, Brenda, her heirs and successors.
THE HEIR PRESUMPTIOUS, PRINCE NEDDY SEAGOON.
