Witterings From Witney: Either........ Or............

Thursday 16 September 2010

Either, as the BBC reports, thousands of green jobs could drive growth, Huhne says, or we are, indeed, being led up the garden path.

And we all know where politicians lead us.........................

And you only need look at Spain to see how wasteful "Green" jobs have been. Over half a million euro's to create each job, and 2,2 real jobs destroyed by each of them....; 16 September 2010 at 12:54

Bill Sticker said...: Ah, as in "Being led up the garden path", the second, and less acknowledged part of the saying is "to have my throat slit". It's an old pig slaughter reference from the days when farmers would slaughter their own swine on a 'pig bench'.

Oh for goodness sake.

Go out and break a few windows, it'll have the same effect.
