In an utterly unsurprising move by the incumbent government, a democratic decision was made today by David Cameron to privatize the privatization of publically held assets.
Responding to questions during Prime Minister Question time, David Cameron had this to say: “Mwhahhhhwealth”.
In the interest of the free-market and fair, capitalist competition, everyone who paid £250,000 to have tea and scones with Mr Cameron last Wednesday was offered the chance to procure this lucrative new venture. The maid, butler and secretary couldn’t afford a voice, leaving Sir Chip Longchin of Money, Money & Moore as the lone spokesman.
The move is expected to benefit four grey men in their late sixties greatly, but offer a generally poorer service to everyone else, leading some backbench detractors to slowly shake their heads and frown. Vicount Ashford of Pleasantdale explains the wider benefits:
“It’s not just these four wealthy gentlemen who will benefit, but also their immediate family. It’s likely that a private jet will be bought, and then written off as a tax-deductable. And they will give my nephew a job, who will then be able to afford to send his children to a better boarding school”.
A spokesman for The Conservative Party explains the decision:
“One of the problems with being a politician is that we tend to think a little too ‘inside the box’. We have taken the bold move to outsource creativity. There is now a company in the Virgin Islands dedicated to thinking up innovative new ways to strip our country of natural assets. Anything we can sell really.”
The Conservative think tank Conservative Nepotism Undoes Thoughtful Socialism (CNUTS), are prepared to accept credit if the public perception is positive, or blame Labour and resign from their posts with lucrative severance packages if the Tory public relations campaign is unsuccessful, and the general public become quietly indignant.
Canvassing people’s opinion on the street, Some Ambitious Journalist spoke to Joe Smith:
“Ooh, I don’t understand that kind of thing. I just don’t want the other party to get in, because Jim down The Crown said they are going to reduce rubbish collection to once fortnightly! Can you imagine?”
Jane Willis echoed this sentiment:
“Oh yes, good. Well, I ‘m sure they know what they’re doing, these people. How else would they get those jobs they got?”
When questioned about his privatization plans moving forward, Sir Chip Longchin identified the key sectorial expansion areas earmarked for capitalization, such as education, pollination, complaining about the rich and thoughts.
