The Campaign Bus,

[Canada Bob]

It's a slow day in a small Scottish town.

Times are tough, workers are stressed, jobs are being lost, homes and cars repossessed, if you don't live on Benefits you're living in debt..

Then New Labour's campaign bus rolls into town, Lord Mendelson {Allister's Darling} dismounts and heads for the local Hotel.

They stop at the desk Lord Mendelson lays down ?100 in cash, and asks for a receipt, then asks if they can inspect the rooms upstairs in order to see if it's up to their standard.

As soon as Mendy and Allister head upstairs, the owner grabs the money and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.

The butcher takes the ?100 and runs down the street to pay his debt to the sheep farmer.

The sheep farmer takes the ?100 and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel.

The man at the Farmer's Co-op takes the ?100 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her "services" on credit.

She rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill at the hotel.

The hotel proprietor quickly replaces the ?100 on the counter so that Allisters Darling won't suspect anything.

After 20 minutes the pillow biter comes downstairs, picks up the ?100, (keeps the receipt), states the rooms were not to their satisfaction, and then they leave town.

No one produced anything... No one earned anything, but somewhere along the lines chances are someone got screwed...

However... the whole town is now out of debt and now looks to the future with a lot more optimism, all "Thanks to the Economics of New Labour"...
