Tories Reject European Financial Tax

In a completely expected move today the government has utterly rejected any call for a tax on financial transactions.  "When we called for austerity measures," David Cameron, part-time Prime Minister of Britain, told our reporter, "we didn't mean for the banks. We might be all in this together but this is going too far. Such a tax would, in any case, fall disproportionatly on the City Of London where 80% of all financial scams are thought up. I do understand people's anger with the banks but feel that its in the best interests of the country to ignore it. What ordinary common little people don't seem to understand is that the banks are far too wise, far too sophisticated and far too superior to take any notice of their miserable and ill-informed opinions. My message to the British people is keep voting Tory, trust us and pay your taxes. Opinions are for those, like me, who know what we're talking about and have real financial transactions of our own to worry about."
