A Wet Summer Holiday in Rhyl

 


'We're very lucky!"
I tell the boys,
"Not many can afford
a LUXURY Platinum Caravan!
(Much cheaper than abroad)

"It's very spacious!"
I tell the boys
as they squeeze into their "room":
"A luxury PLATINUM Caravan!"
(I hope it stops raining soon)

"It's not for us!"
I tell the boys
as we sit around, plain bored.
"A luxury platinum CARAVAN!"
(Next year we go abroad)

It's about liberation in the ongoing fight to unshackle the people and allow them to decide! Emergency dinners is fiscal suicide. We need every penny to keep our bombs primed and ready to use if we are inclined. We must honour our contracts and look after our friends We must keep in their favour (Our retirement depends on the offer of seats on a top business board Earning more money as we head to the Lords). So, let us be honest - we're in this together And the decisions ahead are a question of whether we avoid the tough actions fiscal prudence demands. Free dinners are wasteful - you must understand.
