For Christ's Sake Just Sack Me, Says Darling
ALISTAIR Darling last night pleaded for his immediate dismissal, stressing he was the worst chancellor in more than 60 years.
George Ward Hunt could only count to three
Mr Darling told the Guardian that not since Hugh Dalton in 1947 had the Treasury been in the hands of someone so comprehensively incapable.
He added: "Things are bad. And understandably a lot of people would like to cut my nuts off with a broken bottle.
"But we must remember that Britain is being affected by a series of global economic challenges that I'm making much, much worse.
"I would also stress that chancellors are likely to get worse before they get better, especially if he gives the job to Ed Balls or his ghastly wife."
But economists disputed the chancellor's assessment. Tom Logan, of Reading University, said: "We're actually experiencing a far worse chancellor than 1947.
"You really have to go back to George Ward Hunt in 1868, who accidentally flushed his Budget down the bog and was eventually replaced by a cat."
In a wide ranging interview Mr Darling also said the Labour Party was 'a lot of fucking rubbish' and called for former Scottish leader Wendy Alexander to pushed under a herd of stampeding bulls.
