Digital budget

Following on from David Camerons 'witty' remarks about Gordon Brown being an 'analogue' politician in a digital world, I followed this though through, and found myself rather relieved that the man who sets the budget is analogue, and not digital.

Imagine GB, in the office, someone asks him how much tax we are going to pay. Digital brown has only two answers - on and off. "On" says GB, "lets put tax on" how much? Well on muct be 100%, and off will be 0%. This means no-one will have any money. We need to give people benefits. "Benfits on" comes the answer from Mr Analogue in the corner. Oh, we now need to fund the schools and everything else, where will we get that from? We've run out of money before we started.

Hence, if we want politicians to be digital, we must teach them to pretend to be analogue, much like Casio have done with their pianos. Good idea. What we need is an analogue modelling digital politician. Perhaps we will need politician top boxes, to translate the binary madness into a language us old fashioned analogues can understand. One day all politicians will be digital, we'll turn off the old analogue politicians.

Must make sense to DC, the first new Tory policy. If it aint broke, break it then make something that does the same job, not as well and costs more.
