'Just call me Dave' David Cameron has got out his big gun and pointed it squarely at his own foot yet again by announcing a potentially vote-winning plan that he claims will boost jobs and cut unemployment and help employers by reducing their tax bill, all without impinging one iota on the lives of the many who are taxed (both financially and mentally) by the few egotists in prominent positions in UK politics.
Employers would get the tax cuts if they actively sought out the long-term unemployed, says Dovetail Dave, the workers' friend.
Of course, the Cameron tax miracle is not a new scheme - he's knocked it off some questionable fellows from Canada and the US - well known for their caring sharing treatment of long-term layabouts.
But ever the chancer-trying-to-look-important-when-he's-really-not-got-much-influence, Mystic Dave is calling on SuperGordo 'I'm not boring - just fiscally constrained' Brown to implement this idea RIGHT NOW. Which suggests that it's an ill-conceived mish-mash of a plan that's bound to land whoever implements it with egg on their face. Either that, or it's a true stroke of genius and Davo Cormorant really is a dodo and will shortly be walking around with a super-aerated foot.
But, of course, this is what's really known as toying with the lives of millions to score cheap political points. If only our politicians would grow up and start talking to each other, rather than spouting on to the media. Dangerous concept I know, but perhaps it's one that Dave 'concept' Cameron can claim as his own, before suggesting cross-party talks on all manner of pressing social subjects. But then that would be a sensible thing to do.
