Spend all the money on me, Britons tell Reeves

ALL public spending should be cut ‘except for the specific services I use’, the electorate has informed the government. 

A consultation on how funding should be allocated has found non-parents want to close schools, the healthy want NHS cuts, unnecessary buildings used by strangers should be left to collapse and nobody sees the point of Wales.

Martin Bishop of York said: “This country is full of roads I don’t use going to places I have no intention of visiting. Why are my taxes paying for that?

“Times are hard so we cannot justify spending money on people I don’t know personally. I’ve made a list of deserving recipients, and so far it’s me, my mate Kev and the bloke who fixes my car.”

Joanna Kramer agreed: “I’ve never understood why there are quite so many schools when my children go to two or three at the most. And couldn’t we cut hospital waiting lists dramatically by removing all these randoms from them?

“Imagine a gleaming, empty A&E where the medical team calls me by name and has my notes already in hand as I’m ushered to a private room and my favourite chocolates wait by my bedside. That sounds like a better Britain. Let’s get that done.”

Rachel Reeves said: “There is the minor issue of that being entirely impossible. Though I note Nigel Farage has already promised it.”

Man thinking of dying to spite striking doctors

A MAN is considering teaching striking doctors the error of their ways by dying in the next five days, he has announced.

Roy Hobbs is planning to express his outrage over highly-skilled doctors going on strike in order to secure fair pay for their services by dying from a non-urgent medical complaint.

Hobbs said: “Doctors think they’re better than the rest of us because they know how to stop people dying which we don’t. Keeling over out of pettiness will wipe the smirks off their smug faces.

“It’ll take a lot of effort to perish from a persistent earache or a minor burn, but unlike health service slackers I don’t give up so easily. I expect my pathetic martyrdom will be a useful lesson to them about the benefits of hard graft.

“If doctors wanted to earn a decent wage they shouldn’t have wasted their time swotting up on medical textbooks and taking exams that will literally help them to save people’s lives. Everyone knows the selfless, honourable trade of YouTube reaction videos is where the big bucks are.”

Resident doctor Martin Bishop said: “Roy’s admirable self-sacrifice has got me questioning all of my oaths. I’m actually really interested to see how a knobhead could die from a sprained wrist.”
