Leaks
« on: October 19, 2010, 06:48:46 PM »
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/liberaldemocrats/8073943/Danny-Alexander-reveals-500000-job-cuts-in-document-gaffe.html

Danny Alexander unintentionally revealed that the coalition expects 500,000 public sector jobs to be lost as a result of the drastic spending cuts when he was photographed holding a private document.

The Chief Secretary to the Treasury, who has been nicknamed Beaker after the Muppets character, was snapped by photographers driving into Whitehall with an open copy of the Comprehensive Spending Review on his lap.

...Cynics have claimed the gaffes may have been orchestrated to soften the blow ahead of announcements.

Soften the blow, have a laugh  noooo: noooo: noooo:

One of my neighbours (French), same age as me and now retired on a French pension divides her time between London, Paris and the Ardèche  surrender:   Just in time I guess.
