More of a win... This is currently doing the rounds and labour folks on my FB are spitting feathers over this story:
The £50 lesson.
Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the front garden, my neighbours stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog. During our friendly conversation, I asked their 12 year old daughter what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be Prime Minister one day. Both of her parents – Labour Party voters — were standing there, so I asked her:
"If you were Prime Minister what would be the first thing you would do?"
She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people."
Her parents beamed with pride!
Wow, what a worthy goal!" I said. "But you don't have to wait until you're Prime Minister to do that!" I told her.
"What do you mean?" she replied.
So I told her: "You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, trim my hedge and I'll pay you £50. Then you can go down to the Town Centre, find a homeless man and can give him the £50 to buy food."
She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless man come over and do the work and you can just pay him the £50?”
I said, "Welcome to the Conservative Party!"
Her parents aren't speaking to me anymore.

Du1point8 - stolen, posted and waiting for the smell of boiling labour piss!
Likewise. I vote those who repost should share any particularly humorous replies here. 
Frankly, I'm not sure what to make of mine:

disappointingly, I've only had one comment that wasn't complimentary...
"But the conservatives would then decide to only pay the homeless man £40 for doing the work even though they initially agreed £50 with him. They'd then make him work longer and get a lower pension at the end of it all, while at the same time maintaining their own high value pensions. They'd make a lot of noise about cutting welfare benefits but take so long for fear of upsetting the ones they share a bed with and in the end take very little off the scrounges. Welcome to reality."
