Item two: ‘Pensions under siege as Bank of England rescue plan leaves a million savers facing poverty
Item three:

    It’s the Mail. And they now point out that the fig trees are only rented!

    Meanwhile back in New Zeeland we have the spectacle of the major news item being a profoundly deaf/stupid Gween MP giving a whinging maiden speech in Parliament sounding hilariously like a cross between Pontius Pilate and Biggus Dickus of Monty Python’s ‘Life of Brian’!

      Yeah, they’ve got their priorities right, Scummy. They’ll still be babbling inanities while NZ goes down the gurgler. Because it’s all about feelings, you see….

    For $117 you can get 12 fig trees. And you get to keep them too.
