Cameron shafted by Pfizer decision to pull out of Kent

February 2, 2011

How much weight does the British leader carry on the world stage? About 14 stones, Guru would estimate - with most of that making a big bulge in his pocket.

Sadly, that protuberance is 100% cash and not as a result of any illicit Viagra use on the part of our main member, that man David 'justcallmedave' Cameron, who in his role as PM recently urged the Viagra drug company Pfizer to invest more in the UK.

Pfizer's response - to close its R&D dept in Sandwich, Kent, axeing 2,400 jobs in the process - sends a stiff signal to the world of our leader's declining prowess in the bedroom... sorry, boardroom.

Still, stiff upper lip and all that. And being a bit of a flop in the standing up and being counted department wont bother justcallmediv, as he's sure to have plenty of 'wood' to play with when he buys all the land his chum George 'Oh No' Osborne is about to put on the market through the sell-off of the Forestry Commission.
