Budget Special 05 - Its official! The Labour Government is better than Arsenal..
GB in the Budget said (and apologies for not having the exact quote, the HM Treasury don't include this little riff in the transcript of the speech) something along the lines of:
"We saw last season a team that went 49 matches without defeat [that'll be Arsenal, Ed]. In December I reported 49 quarters of consecutive growth. Today I can report economic growth for the fiftieth consecutive quarter. The Budget forecast is continued growth in quarters 51, 52, 53 and 54..."
So, its official. This Government is better than Arsenal...Arsenal last season that is. When they were winning. Not so sure the Premiership comparison is an encouraging one now...the tale of a team in blue overtaking their rivals is not one I want to see repeated in the political sphere. Just as well the political team in blue isn't backed by dodgy business men with millions in off-shore accounts.
Maybe, there's another downside to the comparison...as one wag put it when I told him that the Government were better than Arsenal, "Even Plaid Cymru are better than Arsenal - and they have more Englishmen in their team..." (Thanks RW).

If I understand correctly, what this is all saying is that the Labour Government is as good as Plaid Cymru.
Does anyone else see the problem with this?

Are the labour govt really any better than Arsenal?
At least fans turn up at our ground and 'vote with their feet' giving us a 'turnout' of about 98%, regardless of policy/results. SO are Labour better than Arsenal? maybe, but statistically their not as popular...Which woudl mean the next PM is Arsene Wenger... the mind boggles at the possibilities, great results domestically,poor disciplinary record, dreadful performances in europe...
