    WTF?

    All the company sales pitches...

    (Disclaimer, before someone says something, I'm about to use the word vulture, only in this context to imply "bad", but please note, I'm not referring to The Vulture Central. Also I could have used the word Zombie for implying carrion-eating, but it doesn't have the same ring to it ;).

They were like a bunch of publicity seeking vultures each trying to pick over the available money, each getting in their two faced lying biased sales pitches, as if they were giving some kind of advice, when the reality is each are blatantly biasing their comments to suit their own goals.

    Coalition ace up the sleeve?

    Hmm, this topic seems the best one for this post.

    Tories + private sector

    Labour + unions

    Where one holds an ace up the sleeve the other is perpetually let down.

    (My ans: Tories + private sector = ace up the sleeve.

    Labour + unions = joker in the pack (usually malevolent) )

    Where one in government knows, appreciates, depends and can count on informal support the other knows it will end up disappointed in association.

    For why is this important you might ask? (And even if you didn't I hope you don't mind me asking it for you)

    Purely because the next target is in winning the next general election.
