[maxrider]

This letter appeared in todays local newspaper, scary to think there may just be enough with this mindset to get them back in!

"I'll be voting Labour this time, as always. My father and his father before him voted the same. I think Gordon Brown has done a good job, steering the economy through rough seas. It wont take us long to pay back the £1.3 trillion that he's borrowed to get us through."

[Zod]

Planted by the local Labour party. There will be loads of these in the next few weeks.

The incredible, utter and total lack of understanding displayed by this statement is simply breathtaking.

Write a letter explaining how big a number 1.3 Trillion is.

Funny, I thought that too

I guess he's already sent in his £22,000 check to Gordon to help repay his share of the debt.

I think it's definitely a piss-take. And a rather good one too. It's the outlining of the sheer sum of money involved that confirms it to me.

Don't forget the only people with the time to write a letter to the local rags are the ones too 'ill' to work.

Two options with that letter,

a) it's a piss-take but unfortunately it will fly over the heads of so many readers.

Leaves oldsoak to post his whoosh / parrot picture.

or

b) the address of the writer can be found here
