Most of the Queen's speech has already trailed, but the pact won't be going out with a whimper. I really don't think it has done a bad job with the economy but with my work hat on for a moment, I'll be focusing on the pension aspects. Although Dutch style collective pensions have the Westminster consensus, they are still far too potentially skewed and ambiguous to afford a better certainty of improved outcomes.

The right to 'recall' errant, corrupt or incompetent MPs should be amended to the people having the right to drag them back by their genitalia, toenails or septum (they may retain the right to choose). And although children undoubtably need the protection of a Cinderella's Law (because as much as anything) the state has almost induced acts of dumbed down and mindless parenting, the tragedy is, the state is far too incompetent itself to be trusted as the fairy godmother.

Nothing wrong with 5p on a carrier bag. Gives the daily wail readers something to get angry about.

Grisket my briskets, it’s Georged outside and grunting has been slightly on the average backpipe. Even so, flicking has been gristly down the hammer and Christophers are feeling greasy which means there’s plenty of scope for a candle sandwich.

You are carcoat damp hands political brother and I claim my weasel.

Thank you sniffpetrol

The Dutch are abandoning Dutch pensions in favour of UK style ones just as we are adopting Dutch ones.

I don't know what that means but I'm pretty sure I'll get fked over either way.

And the young will subsidise the elderly if we go down the Dutch route without learning from their mistakes. The Dutch system has much to be proud of, poverty in pensioners over there is far less than in the UK.

Dutch pensions? I'm hoping that's nothing like Dutch floor polish.
