A Budget Hangover From Norman Lamont
by Anorak | 13th, March 2008
THOSE post-Budget front-page headlines and what they reveal about the papers and their readers:
THE TIMES: “The hangover Budget”.
A picture of Alistair ‘Knut’ Darling carrying a bag (plastic?) of booze. Those eyebrows. That light grey hair. The absence of a visible receipt for his haul of drink. It’s Norman Lamont returned.
The story is underscored by the Times, er, offer: “Eat out for £10.”
THE INDEPEDENT:” MR DARLING AND HIS BOX OF TRICKS.”
The image is or Darling holding his red box up over his face. All that remains of him in view are a body and a tuft of white hair. Is that a rabbit? Or Knut?
Picture: Poldraw
