Loony Scene

When the policies of the 'Official Monster Raving Loony Party' (OMRLP) actually make real sence then perhaps it is time to concider ones cynicism !

I quote from the OMRLP web site:

Our team of experts has decided that Income Tax has not proved popular with the public and will therefore be abolished. It was started in order to finance the Napoleonic war in 1799 and we now believe that the time is right to announce the cessation of hostilities with Napoleon.

Some of the money left in the coffers will be used to fill in our part of the Channel Tunnel in case no one has mentioned it to the French. Any remaining money will be strategically placed on a horse at the 3-30 at Haydock Park at odds of at least 12/1 in order to see us through until the next election.

Income Tax will be officially replaced by people lending the government a bob or two at the end of the week when we’re a bit skint.

_

Other policies: We will issue a 99p coin to save on change.

_

The Official Monster Raving Loony Party will not join the single European currency. We will invite all Europeans countries to JOIN THE POUND.

_

Rich people should be taxed to pay for the printing of money, as they use most of it. Tax credits will be paid to nice people. There will be a “total bastard” tax for everyone else.
