Fatcat Fatwas

After a freak accident involving teleportation, skin oil and Rupert Murdoch, comedian and New Statesmen columnist Mark Thomas has been fused with Sun columnist and right-wing fuckwit Richard Littlejohn. The results are not pretty as this column on corporate manslaughter - which New labour has promised to introduce tougher laws on in all three of its election winning manifestos, but thus far failed to act on - shows:

Two thousand people killed at work since October 1997! When are we going to hear the wake-up call? We've been lenient with these boardroom merchants of hate and their twisted ideology of privatisation for too long. We all know that companies go for bigger profits by sacking staff, undermining unions and cutting costs and corners, which is a murderous recipe for destruction and mayhem.

So why do we put up with those who spout this ideology of evil? These so-called "bosses" have an option: shut up or get out! We won't put up with these preachers of hate spewing their extremist message from the pulpits of the Confederation of British Industry and the Institute of Directors. We've had enough of their fat-cat fatwas. We've been tolerant of these ideologues of insanity for far too long and now it's time to kick 'em out.
