From a bulk flyer that arrived in yesterday's mail:
I know the economy is going through a rough patch at the moment, but if it has started turning tricks for tenners then things are far worse than I previously thought. I suppose it had to find some way to pay for its nasty and destructive addiction to neoliberal policies.
"Hey, mister, are you looking for some free market action?"
"For real? How low are your interest rates, really?"
"As low as you want them to be."
"Uh, I'll pass. You look like you're about to collapse."
"Wait, mister! Don't go! I'll throw in some offshoring and privatization for free! Please! The World Bank will cut me if I don't bring him back some cash!"
