Friday Caption Competition
We have a copy of Heather Brooke’s The Silent State: Secrets, Surveillance and the Myth of British Democracy to give away to a co-conspirator who comes up with an amusing caption. Heather was the campaigner who went to court to get MPs expenses released under the Freedom of Information Act. Without her crooked MPs would still be pontificating in parliament instead of doing porridge. Usual rules apply.















“Honest , If i stick to my budget growth will go through the roof”
did anyone win last weeks?
If you look closely you can see all the serious taxpayers clearing off into the blue yonder and with them the last hopes of a credible taxation-financed debt reduction program…
I did. I just haven’t received it yet.
Sorry Bill, we thought of using Microshaft for the 2011 census, but we decided to give the UK populations personal details to an American defense contractor instead.
Aaronovitch being the usual prick here
Heather Brooke rudely interupted time and again
Read her book but be warned – you will get increasingly angrier as you do and want to do something about all the fuckers in parliament and elsewhere
Bill Gates tests the mind-control beta feature of Microsoft Windows 8 (World Domination Tin Foil Hat edition)
Heather Brookes, a true heroine of our times. Doing what our paid representatives should be doing, looking after our interests.
Aaronovitch stands up for centralised planning and state control which has always failed. The census is an socialist’s wet dream.
Move your tax base to the UK and we’ll throw in Big Ben. Pay your NI on time you can have Big Sally (Bercow) too.
“Britan might still be recovering from 13 years of socailisim but if you look over there i see blue skies on the horizon”
Red Ken eyes up more taxes, like a true Commie. Taxes is the answer to everything. One million non-jobs created by Labour, and the private sector has to keep the public sector non-jobbers in a fake job.
Ken had to say it though, it’s all Thatchers fault, LOL change the record already!
He’s a Laffer minute.
He’s a laffer minute.
Was that a curved ball?
Billy the truth is not always amusing.
..and I’m pleased to announce that VAT on wallpaper is dropped to 0%.

Look Bill, up there is were Tat lives.
Is that an Apple?

purile, childish and had me snorting coffee
Ha!
“Bill, Why are the French implamenting a No fly zone over London?”
“And right about there, is where I plucked my idea for a fuel levy charge from.”
My god , the Brit’s a bigger geek than me!
Microsoft boss finds that MPs also suffer from corrupt file systems.
+ 1
Up there? Oh, that’s Nick Clegg – we told him to wait for Steve Jobs, who isn’t coming..
So, Bill, tell me again how cloud computing works.

Unlikely Billy:; they never shared one…
I thank God that Sarah Brown has enough restraint not to tell us that Gordon still excites her in every way possible
Windows 7. How about calling it cloud computing Bill?

Hey Bill. What do you think of my windows?
So, if we and google combine the census with the medical records including DNA samples with everything you hack from people’s private computer files and your chum’s telephone records, we will know everything about everyone!!!
Why is Gordon Brown like Windows Vista?
Noone has yet worked out why it crashes or a way of removing corrupt files.
I showed him Liam Byrne’s note
I described the smell of Gordon’s scrote
But what made Bill smile so sly
Was when I made my iPad2 fly
To the tune of Dumbo.
And whoosh, this nokia flew past. I never knew he was in the House at the time!
Shouldn’t that be “a Nokia Windows Phone”. Very good all the same.
George, Iv’e paid the EU for that sandtrap called Libya when do I get the ownership papers so I can change it’s name to Micrsoft land.
“So Bill , What do you think of my back door?”
That’s Labour’s Debt Mountain over there. Even your £ 38 billion fortune would scarcely pay off one year’s interest on Liebour’s Debt.
“From here you can see Windows 7″
By continuing with the closed source business model devised by you and NuLab I can send IT jobs thousands of miles away in that direction, Bill. Yes, to Redmond.
“So Bill we have to look for rainbows so we can find a pot of gold, we used to have quite a lot until Gordon sold at rock bottem Pr*ce”
Things were about to go downhill, as George rolls out the internationally recognised symbol for ‘Loser’
“Hey Bill, we’re encountering the blue screen of death with the growth strategy. Is a reboot necessary”
Gordon used to have windows up there, but then everything crashed.
“No you have more chance of spotting a dodo than seeing Gordon turn up for work”
Look up Bill. You will notice the RAF patrolling a “no-fly” zone across the UK. That is to stop rich entrepreneurs like you from leaving.
Douglas will show you to your new UK-based headquarters.
With this cute distraction I can lift his wallet!

George: “Bill, look up there in the sky. There are your dreams of beating the iPhone.”
Bill: “Yeah, I think I see them next to your growth estimates”

“My budget will boost growth… Oh look – a pig.”
“Is that your private jet relocating to Switzerland, Bill?”
” Do you fancy coming to the House of Commons for taxpayer subsidsed lunch, Its only over there?”
…and there’s Gordon licking Windows.
Bill, that’s the pile of money I will be sending you for all the useless Windows licences you’ve sold to HMG. Any chance you can use some of it to invent stuff that works? We’re in it together you know.
GO: “Look, a bird, a bee – what’s next?”
BG: “Hey – good tagline!”
oh dear if i employed old Estonian where would i be today, on the street, potless.

“And if you look closely you can still see the dents from all those Nokias”
Bill: Look it’s Travolta’s jet, does that mean he’s paying tax now George?
George: I hope so, Grease my arse!
So, Bill. As my powerpoint presentation will demonstrate, socialism represents a far greater threat to the world than malaria, and its eradication should be the main target of your charitable foundation.
I’ve heard you’re quite charitable… you see there’s this little debt we have…

George Osborne: “Is that Sally Bercow in a sheet at the top window?”
GO: Bill look at the rainbow! there’s a basket of currencies at the end of it!

Bill Gates: “So, just exactly what is your connection with Ozzy. Are you a prince of darkness too?”
George tries out the protoype Invisible Windows 8 based handheld device as Microsoft takes Vapourware to a whole new level
Oh. I see. Because Gordon did not pay his Office licence fees, you spiked his Excel so that he sold the Gold at the wrong time, expected more income than he got and it told him he had spent less than he had. Gee thanks, Bill! Where is the unwind button?
“With a donation from you of just £5bn a month, our growth figures could be up here again, making a real difference to our country…” says George.

“Oh, him? He’s locked in that attic up there. We’ve only let him out a couple of times since we got in. Strangely enough he just goes over to Parliament, signs his expense forms and comes straight back. We think he’s become institutionalised now, prefers life on the inside. We still haven’t traced where he hid the umpteen trillion he ‘invested’.”
