Metaphor soup

Imagine a Hindu in a steakhouse and at the instant the meat is brought out they abandon the principle of the sacred cow and begin tucking into rare steak. This is like the lib dems.

Public to make a loss

As reported last week the UK Government intend to sell Northern Rock at a net loss for the taxpayer. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-13783724

The kind of business decision that will please city investors who advise on these issues, but clearly a bad deal for those of us who stumped up the cash. I can only hope that the proceeds from the sale will be invested in the frontline services now bearing the brunt of the cuts. I shan't hold my breath on that one though.
