PRICES SOAR AS DEFLATION KICKS IN
by our economics staff Anatole Katastrophsky


As I predicted only yesterday, the nightmare of inflation has been 
succeeded by the spectre of deflation.

Which is which?  This is the question that is puzzling some of the 
world's greatest econmomists, oncluding myself.

The answer is simple. 
Inflation is when prices are rising by 3 percent.
And deflation is the same.

Goodnight.  Could I have my cheque p;ease?

GOVERNMENT TO INTRODUCE 'QUANTITATIVE SLEAZING'

==by our Parliamentary Staff Phil Expense Account
The Prime minister, Gordon Brown, yesterday controversially promised 
to increase the amount of sleaze in circulation in Britain.

He explained; "We need a massive injection of sleaze to help the 
public lose confidence in the government."  He then detailed his 5-
point plan to bring the country to its knees.
1. Government ministers to claim porn films on expenses
2. Government ministers to claim caravans as primary residences
3. Government ministers to pretend to be living with their parents to 
claim allowances.
4. Government ministers to pretend to be living with their sisters to 
claim allowances.
5. Government MPs  to participate in steamy Westmionster love romps 
wit mistresses in black stockings and suspenders, Cor ! Phew !  
[That's enough five point plan - ed]

The Prime Minister said he was confident thatthis introduction of 
'quantitative sleazing ' would take the country back to the golden 
period of the last days of John Major's government.

LORD MYNERS 'MISINFORMED' LORD MYNERS
by our political staff Peter Oberwell

Lord Myners today insisted that he had no knowledge of the off-shore 
companies he had set up in tax havens such as Bermuda, insisting that 
he was misinformed by Lord Mynersat the time as to the nature of 
these companies.

"At no time during the negotiations did Lord Myners inform me rhat by 
setting up these companies in tax havens I would be making a massive 
tax-free profit"  a horrified Lord Myners told reporters.

" I am obviously furious with myself for misleading me as to the 
nature of these companies, but clearly no blame can be attached to me 
for that."

Lord Myners insisted that the only people to blame for this were the 
RBS board, Sir Fred Goodwin and Chris Moyles.
