weird when you see it all laid out like that and you start thinking Vince Cable's face more worthy of a down vote than terrorism

"my rotten pension" and "having no money," eh?

Translation: I am a worthless pile of doodah who deserves everything I've got in life, I expect society to be my butler and, more than any of the things I mention, I hate myself. I hate being the only person who knows just how badly my parents/teachers/employers fucked me up. I hate all the chances in life I was given but didn't take. I hate all people who are better than me, have more talent/money/intelligence/hope/of a future than me. I hate the fact that so many other people seem to be living a better life than me. I hate the fact that I didn't make any money, or wasted the money I did make, because I was rubbish, and lazy, and incompetent, and I went about the few ideas I had so badly that they might as well not have occurred to me. Oh, and I'm also scared shitless of dying.

"Oh, MC, you're just projecting again." Well, I hope not; I hope I've done a little bit better than that.

This not another Henry Boot?

Willie Donaldson is much missed. I thought about whether this might be a wind-up but there seems to be a generalised desperation coming through, more desperate if it was just the Mail team making the letter up.

letter reeks of parody to me, assumed it was from Viz at first

anyway, are we voting for the worst on this list or what?

I voted BBC, but then I would.

hard not to vote for the Entire Labour Shadow Cabinet, the political equivalent of a padlocked fire exit in an overcrowded nightclub

Specifically Rachel Reeves, the person Lance Percival could have been.

She is an economist and worked for the Bank of England between 2000 and 2006

future of socialism safe in our hands

in an alternate universe Harry recited his letter over a cheaply made dance backbeat instead of sending it to the Mail and it became a brief novelty smash a la Funk Dat by Sagat

Pro-tip, if u can't decide between Vince Cable and the Entire Labour Shadow Cabinet then a vote for 'all politicians' will encompass both #settheory

It's from the Mail, a couple of years ago, but I wondered at the time if it was a sent in as a joke.
