Why Britain's economy is in a bad way

We are in DEEP trouble...


The population of this country is approximately 60 million.



32 million are retired.


That leaves 28 million to do the work.



There are 17 million in school or at Universities.



Which leaves 11 million to do the work.


Of this there are 8 million employed by the UK government.



Leaving 3 million to do the work.




1.2 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing Osama Bin-Laden, and fighting in Afghanistan .



Which leaves 1.8 million to do the work.




Take from that total the 0.8 million people who work for Local County Councils. And that leaves 1 million to do the work.






At any given time there are 488,000 people in hospitals or claiming Invalidity Benefit.



Leaving 512,000 to do the work.





Now, there are 511,998 people in prisons.





That leaves just two people to do the work.




You and me.

And there you are,

Sitting on your arse,

At your computer, reading jokes.

Is it any wonder that we are in such a mess and that I am stressed out through trying to cope all on my own?
