A Tangled Web

Well, what can I say about you human beings? I cannot go away and leave you all for five minutes, not without some of you are bringing your country’s economy down right around your ears. Leaping toads, Why? Ribbit!!

I spent a great deal of my precious time explaining to you all about what was going to happen if you carried on in the manner you were doing. You ignored my pearls of wisdom, because you thought you knew better, and so you paid for your foolishness. Talk about being completely idiotic. Has someone actually got to spell everything out to you, or is it that you simply couldn’t believe in a talking frog? Ribbit!!

It was actually you who brought about your own financial doom and gloom. I find it odd really, no, actually it’s funny! I told you what would happen if you continued to buy houses and other property, at prices that you couldn’t afford, especially when those said properties were being sold at prices far beyond their true worth. Did you listen to my advice? No, you certainly didn’t! And you still think that prices will go up again. Oh dear, oh dear. Tell me, did you take my advice as to what would happen to the stock market, if the world market continued to go the way it was? No, you damned well didn’t! So, whose fault is that? Croak!!

Now it appears that your government has not only allowed your bankers to poise on the verge of total bankruptcy, but they took pity on them and rescued them with your money. Yes, your money!! It’s unbelievable. Croak!!

Let me ask you this tiny question. I’ll keep it simple so you can understand, but only because it’ll go over your heads if I don’t. Did these same bankers show their undying gratitude and appreciation of what you did for them by bailing them out? Ribbit!!

That’s right, I was told they damned well didn’t, and not only this, the ungrateful gits, they laughed right back at you. From what I’ve been told, it is a whole lot worse than this, because for these same bankers, it’s business as usual and they continued to pay themselves in huge bonuses. Even worse is the fact that following their promise to support small businesses, they chose to flatly ignore their requests for financial help. The result of this was that large numbers of you lost your jobs and your homes too. How’s this for so-called gratitude? Crumbs, I’d rather turn into a toad, warts and all, than to ever trust a banker, not that I ever needed one. Croak!!

By the way, I also heard that your government told you that they rescued the banks to save your savings. Toad crap!! Now that’s a real belly laugh for you. They did it to save their own savings, not yours. Let’s face it, they stood to lose a darned sight more money than you lot ever did. Croak!!!

What you should be asking yourselves is this, how long will it be before they, the banks, get into more difficulties and lose all your savings again? Croak!!

If I was a human, I’d be shaking my head from side to side in absolute disbelief right now. Bob, the gardener, where I live, tells me that you have elections coming soon? Tell me, do they truly believe that they can help themselves to your tax money, paying for, and buying personal items for themselves and their families, and then truly expect you all to actually vote for them? Please, someone out there, anyone, tell me that it simply isn’t true? Croak!!

Bob, for those who know him, is a pensioner, and he has explained to me, and rightly so, that he isn’t going to vote at all. Why? It’s as plain as the nose on your face. He doesn’t vote for anyone who would steal from him, more especially when those same people think that everyone has forgiven and forgotten their actions against the good taxpayers of this fair land. Bob is still undecided as to what was the worse thing they did to everyone in this whole sorry mess? Helping themselves to money that didn’t even belong to them as MP’s, or to trying to hide the fact that this has been going on for decades? Yes, that’s what I said, decades. Croak!!

To add more fuel to the fire, I understand that your Mr Brown insists that he has helped the failing economy with what he calls, and these are his words, not mine, ’a fiscal stimulus’. Let me tell you this much. Reducing the rate of VAT by two and one half a percent, is by no means a stimulus, fiscal or otherwise. If he truly thinks that it was, then he needs a stimulating kick up his fat backside. Ribbit!!

Don’t you lot see what’s going on out there? He was expecting you to pay for the mess he, and his ilk, got you into in the first place. Hey! If you lot fall for sweet talking of that sort, vote for me as your next government leader. I promise that I could do a far better job of things if this is what you lot have come to expect from the so-called leader of your country. Honest, Frog‘s honour!!!

You know what? Before you vote, if you still intend to that is, take a look through my old blogs. Firstly, those of you who feel that Mr Cameron is the man to ruin, I mean, run your country, remember what I said about being a Tory. There are dozens of them Thatcherites just waiting to get back into parliament, where they will reintroduce Thatcherism and its harsh reality of Tory greed, greater poverty, rampant crime and even higher unemployment. Croak!!

I don’t expect any of you to believe anything I tell you, but my past blogs should at the very least leave you wondering, and perhaps asking a few questions before you do decide to vote. I wasn’t wrong before, and I don’t think for a single minute now that I’m wrong this time either. Cheerio and take care you all. Ribbit!!
