Politicians who think we're stupid #1
Jeremy 'Berkeley' Hunt, he of the dazed grin and the ridiculous haircut -
Having shown himself to be a creature of Murdoch, he seemed destined for the scrapheap. But no, this is the the government of none of the talents and old Berkeley doesn't stand out. Dishonest, incompetent, without a redeeming feature, he survives to sing the praises of - wait for it! - G4S. Universally despised and decried as they are, the Luftmenschen of G4S have a champion.

Reporter: is this the biggest cock-up in Olympic history?
Berkeley: not at all, G4S are getting better every day.
Reporter: shouldn't they pay back the vast amount of public money they obtained by deception?
Berks: Certainly not, they're lovely people.

Politicians who think we're stupid #2
Smirks Osborne. Questioned by a reporter on whether he intends to continue taking the nation to the economic abyss, Smirks declares that there are other countries whose economies are in a worse state than the UK. He neglects to mention that these are countries, e.g., Greece and Spain, that are enacting the same suicidal policies as he is.

These people think that we were stupid enough to elect them, and therefore we are stupid enough to believe their lies. But they forget that they were not elected. They got together with another unelected and unprincipled bunch and got the unelected head of state to permit them to form a government.
We are, however, stupid enough to let them get away with it - to date.
