A charity X Factor song raising money for injured service personnel received a financial boost from the government today.
Alistair Darling in effect axed VAT on the single, Hero, sung by the 12 X Factor finalists.
The chancellor said the Treasury would make a donation to the Help for Heroes campaign equivalent to the tax revenue collected on the song.
What a fucking wanker.
Fuck them cunts from X Factor and fuck the cunts at the Sun, whose campaign it is.
It’s all good and well the Chancellor wanting to support the troops, but instead of ‘recognising the efforts’ of the X-Factor fuckwits and a campaign that is designed to raise the profile of a, frankly nasty, newspaper, why not, I don’t know, raise their pay maybe.
Ooh, ooh, an even better idea, give them the fucking equipment they need. Or how about not sending them to their, or anybody elses, death for spurious lies and the whim of foreign leaders.
Just a thought, you know.
Seconded.
It’s an easy thing to say, but once you’ve sent men to (potentially) die for a lie, anything you say about caring for them is just PR.
