I thought I might share this piece of wisdom with Argus readers as basically told to me. It made me laugh.

You are a sick senior citizen in need of help as all pensions and benefits have been cut and the Government says they are going to sell your house to pay for your nursing care.

You obtain a gun and a bullet and shoot the politician responsible for your plight.

Of course, this means you will be sent to prison.

In prison you will get three meals a day, a roof over your head, television, central heating and the healthcare you require.

Need new teeth? No problem. Need new glasses? First in line. New knee, kidney, lungs or heart? You’re top of the list.

Who pays for all this? Why, the Government who pleaded poverty and will sell your house.

And as a bonus, you can have visitors as often as you do now. What a country, what a Government.
