[Politics] Show some restraint

[davywavy]

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alistair Darling, has asked that people show 'restraint' in their pay rises to help forestall inflation.
I dont' know about you, but this strikes me as the least-likely-to-be-followed piece of advice since "If you see a venemous snake, just stand still and it'll leave you alone" or "Never sleep with your ex".

But I may be wrong. It happens from time to time. What do you think?

I may have that translated into Latin and made into my motto.

Oooh! Sic Semper Tyrranis is getting old. We need to find some Latin scholars...

Joe hasn't been seen on LJ in some time. As far as I can make out, he alternatites in using/not using LJ depending on whether the person he's currently dating has an LJ account too or not.

cynic ;)

But I'm right, aren't it?

I couldn't comment - mainly because its not something i've thought about or considered (or particularly care about!).

Joe would be that student-grant-esque cretin who sometimes pollutes these pages with brainless lefty gibberish?

I believe you're looking for plurrimi usurpo ut quantocius quantotius :D


Anyhow, Alistair Darling has been fully entitled to go fuck himself ever since he took away £365million from Manchester's tram network as Transport Secretary, to fund the olympic sodding BID (not even the games expenditure) so I'm heartily disinclined to acquiesce to his requests over my pay.
