Old Mother Hubbard

"The Government’s deficit is so big that the cupboard is now bare."
Apparently it is a la mode to patronise the electorate by reducing the complexities of modern fiscal policy to children's nursery rhymes.
Perhaps here is what we can expect from the Conservative Party policy commissions in the run up to the election:
  • The Baa Baa Black Sheep Agricultural Policy
  • The Humpty Dumpty Defence Plan
  • The Simple Simon Vision for Small Businesses
  • The Pat-A-Cake Pat-A-Cake Child Poverty Action Plan
  • The Owl and the Pussycat Civil Partnership Bill
  • The Ride a Cock-Horse Transport Plan
