Anyone worried about the 'shape' of work in the coming years can rest easy in their armchair of complacency, for David 'just call me Dave' Cameron has just spoken. And the words he spake - while munching on a bagel at the CBI - were that despite slashing nearly half a million jobs in the public sector, the future was one based on 'growth', ie, the BIG SOCIETY.
Initially, Yours Truly thought the Cambo was responding to his own story about fat bus drivers, but alas no.
What Guru reads into this, as evidenced by the simultaneously announcement of a £30bn investment in transport, is that Dodgy Dave has accepted that a growing economy means focusing on feeding the needs of the poor. And that means... erm... feeding the people with more... um... food - presumably the investment in the transport system will be for wide-bodied buses with special fatboy seating for the larger bot, bigger car seats and the introduction of bargain bucket-holders on the back of every seat.
Food for thought indeed.
Or rather, food for no thoughts as, being a master psychologist, Yours Truly understands that the way to a persons heart (or, indeed, heart attack) is through their stomach. And the bigger the stomach, the smaller the thoughts and the bigger the society.
Roll on the BIG SOCIETY.
Fatnote: Now there's an idea to conjure with roll-on roll-off buses and trains with great opening gates at the front to spew out the obese who would otherwise take too long to get out of their seats. Guru is rushing down to the patent office.
