...because single-dip recession is just so lame and American.
Again I ask... WTF?
OK, let's see...
Fur cup = fuck up (thanks whomever pointed that out to me), and is a reference to Starbucks paying less than 1% tax on billions of profits, when there is a huge problem with budget deficits. It's a running thing.
The fat cats in business suits are the bankers.
The little twat that's been trodden on is Osborne, who's meant to be chancellor of the exchequer and is meant to hand down sane budgets and be in charge of fiscal policy, but he's a "strategy" based extremist vicious toady weasel, who essentially waging war on anyone earning less than 100K(pounds) a year. The thing on his arm that looks like a matador's cape is a sloth. Yes, there's symbolism for that too, but can't be assed typing it. He's also wearing toff's clothing.
The guy in the hole in the ground is Nick Clegg. No time to talk about what a self-deluded asswipe he is.
The triple dip recession is:
- The great recession.
- Osborne fucking up Labour's recovery when the twats were voted in (making a double dip recession.) Legitimate economic term for exactly this. (in recession, out of recession but not back to normal, back in recession.)
- Triple dip recession. The Olympics put a blip in the quarterly figures. A recession is two consecutive quarters of negative growth. The Olympics caused a quarter of positive growth. Given Osborne's policies are engineering a death spiral that has barely begun to kick in, a triple dip recession was always going to be the thing that followed the Olympics.
Why they had to do a three headed dinosaur, not sure. Dinosaurs are huge and ponderous and most likely uncontrollable, so that's good, and Osborne was undoubtedly trying to do just that before he got stepped on. And the look on the dinosaur's face? Well he just stepped in shit didn't he. There's also a trampled AAA rating, and the broom is probably referring to one of the Tory policies of trying to kill red tape, pretend they're starting over, or just about any one of their "reforms" which are ill-advised and frankly malicious. They've used it a few times, so I couldn't say off the top of my head which one Rawson's referring to.
No idea who the snake is.
Not going to start on Cameron. (The shiny pink git)
