I can, at a stroke, save £90 million from healthcare at today's prices, lift from the nation's sagging shoulders a vast part of the burden of pensions, public and private, and of an aged population.
Friends, citizens, taxpayers, the news is bleak.
The nation trembles.
Our future is austere.
But fear not, for I have a plan to save us from austerity.
I can, at a stroke, save £90 billion from health care at today's prices, lift from the nation's sagging shoulders a vast part of the burden of pensions, public and private, and of an aged population.
Whoa!
I can halve the state's outlay on education.
And far from increasing the tax burden, I can slash it by the equivalent of 5p off the basic rate of income tax.
Slash it?
How, Michael?
Tell us.
My solution?
In a word.
Or rather, a date.
1948.
Huh?
Huh?
All we need do is return to the conditions of 1948 and our problems are solved.
Why, even the budget is better balanced than now.
