Dear Government,

I read the headlines this morning with an incredulous stare of disbelief. The entire nation is being driven nearer and nearer towards poverty, and you're talking about decreasing the entertainment allowance and the paid holidays of your ministers! You've got to be kidding, really.

Who pays for our holidays? And who sponsors our entertainment?

Eradicate all these entertainment allowances and paid holidays totally, then maybe you can keep the prices of petrol at an affordable rate for those of us who need petrol to actually get to work.
