Escape to Spain, Escape from McBroons

The summer has seen the ruling, bungling McBroons crash from crisis to disaster as the economy went south and the national debt northwards.

Over 50s, struggling to hold onto their last jobs before retirement or supplement their pensions, have never seen anything like the level of incompetence shown by the McBroons. They say Ministers and departments of state lack credibility, a viewpoint reinforced by statements from McBroon Castle on the economy and the needs for cuts and belt tightening.

First, it’s no cuts in public services as spun all summer long, now, as McBroon himself realises no sane person in the land believes him, he finally admits there will be cuts as the national debt soars above £800 billion.

After the great Westminster expenses scandal, involving a succession of McBroon ministers, comes the scandal of the Chief Attorney getting her knickers in a twist over her illegal immigrant housemaid. Baroness Scotland forced through the law that caught her in its net, but she claims she didn’t keep copies of the documents she checked when offering the job. She didn’t say what those documents were, but was happy to cough up £5,000 for a fine in the hope it would all go away…

Many of the Over-50 loyal readers of this blog run companies that may start recruiting again sometime in the next decade. They now have a ready answer if they inadvertently fall foul of the McBroons laws on employing immigrants.

Tell the man from the Border Agency – the same dozy outfit that allowed illegals to hitch a lift on their private coach – that you are sorry if the originals of the documents you have photocopies of are fakes like the ones that so easily fooled the Bungling Baroness. Then quietly point out that the McBroons own Home Office issued thousands of national insurance numbers without checks…

It is no wonder that Spanish property websites are getting record numbers of inquiries from Over-50s – they clearly reckon that country is nowadays run better than the UK. Plus the weather is better and as the cost of living is much lower, the pension will go much further... and they will escaped the machinations of the McBroons.
