ACCORDING to David Cameron we are all in this recession together. He might have said that we are all in the same boat.
The problem with the boat is that most of the people are shackled to the oars. As an oarsperson passes out they are thrown into the sea known as “the abyss”. The oarspeople are kept up to the mark by the bankers and others beating on the drum and increasing the speed.
The final problem with the boat is that it always crashes onto the rocks of another recession and then the process starts again.
