1. Had a good laugh at another newsthump headline.

"Hospitals still failing to turn a profit from sick people"

2. Scary. I think Newsthump is one of our most accurate news sources

They've certainly got both Clegg and Duncan-Smith down pretty accurately in that item!

And this sums up the situation with the banks:

3. As the "Government" and its Fat Cat pals do nothing but unashamedly Take The Piss these days ...

... it seems sensible to rely on a news medium that unashamedly does the same.

4. And now The Daily Mash is giving them ideas.

THE unemployed are to be forced ‘off their backsides’ by having their buttocks cut off, it has emerged.

Duncan Smith assured the public there is no threat to Pippa's arse
Work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith believes the best way to get the jobless off their sofas is to ensure they have no arses to sit on.

He said: “The old-fashioned notion of ‘rumps for all’ is a luxury we can no longer afford. We need to make severe cuts, to the bone, in order to get ourselves back on our feet.”

Under Duncan Smith’s plans, anyone visiting a Job Centre Plus to sign on will be harangued into a special cupboard fitted with laser bum-scalpels. The seared-off buttock tissue will be pulped and transformed into ‘government chicken bucket meals’, then sold back to working class families for £1.99 a go in a move that would further bolster the economy

5. Oh, good ! This means that the specialist private firm Buttocks-R-U plc could put in a tender ...

... to the NHS.

Tender, geddit?
