Best ever current government policy song

[ZombieCake]

I despair. I'll start with the loony liz anthem. You know the form.

 

[Pitlamp]

I think a lot of us despair.

I wonder if this song is in the mind of "In Liz we trust".

 

[Badlad]

It's a classic but in current circumstances even more relevant.

 

[pwhole]

It's only a model

 

[RobinGriffiths]

Featuring Lettuce Liz at the helm.

 

[Fjell]

Look on the bright side, you can buy 20 year gilts at 5% yield. And the government is paying your heating bill. What’s not to like?

 

[ZombieCake]

I think she could at least have put the last speech to song:

 

[wellyjen]

After yesterday.

 

[AR]

Do we have a government? Or anything that might just about pass in a favourable light for a policy?

 

[pwhole]

Will this do?

 

[TheBitterEnd]

The Doors - The End

 

[RobinGriffiths]

Specially for our late lamented PM - "Pork Markets"

 

[TheBitterEnd]

Or Radiohead - No Suprises

A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired, unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide


Anyway, that's brightened up your Friday evening

There is nothing like panic for cutting out a juicy steer from the herd.

Those who indulged in gilts at 5% are now sitting on a 40% profit.

All you have to grasp is that inflation is going to get hammered down to 2% or so, so 5% yield for 20 years at zero risk is good going. And eventually even those intellectual Titans pack animals in finance will twig it. These are the same people who previously bought 30 gilts at near zero yield, what else do you need to know?

Anyway, at least we now have a Wykhamist in charge. That’s strangely almost a first.

Perhaps this is what it is all about...
