two drunks walking or should I say staggering through a graveyard (more than likely the unemployed type,you know lazy would,nt know what a days work was scroungers, you get the picture),anyway on they go arms around each other proping each other up,when they came across a headstone which declared"HERE LIES A POLITICAN AND AN HONEST MAN".One of the drunks looks at his mate in wonderment and says,"How the fuck did they get the two of them into the one coffin".

Can we expect anything else as the lower class crime is targeted perhaps focusing on the corporate world and the thieving banks would make for a good ad?
Firms have no problem with those who do the double as they work for less and are essentially exploited by the predicament.
As usual it’s simple to pick the unemployed as the root of all that is wrong in society.
I wonder who caused the financial world meltdown hardly the unemployed.
Though in a time of crisis shield the arch villains and blame the poor.
The upper echelons would never commit such a petty crime as doing the double, without a doubt they only steal large amounts of money.
I am sure if they hit rock bottom they would soon out match even the smartest of the benefit swindlers.
Fair play to those who are ingenious enough to survive after all they put the money back into circulation unlike those who hide it away in an offshore bank, an irony of doing the double no less.

"Typology Groups" from the Pew Research Forum in the US in 2005 has a fascinating comparison, AM, to how Americans view the powers that be who give with one hand and take so much more away with the other fist. I took it at "Beyond Red & Blue" and found myself lumped among the disenfranchised and distrustful populists, as a "Disadvantaged Democrat". It'd be intriguing to find an Irish-British equivalent, and intriguing to find how four years on poll results might show better or worse given regime changes and economic dips among all nations and voters.
