Gordon Macavity Brown - Gives away EU rebate

From Iain Dales site, the classic poem.

The player is here:

Macavity's a Mystery Cat: he's called the Clunking Paw—
For he's the ten-year Chancellor who taxes more and more.
He's the bafflement of Tyneside North, he’s Darlington’s despair:
For when they’re sacked or briefed against—Macavity's not there!

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity
He's broken every golden rule—he breaks the law of amity.
His off balance sheet accounting would make Robert Maxell stare,
But when you open up the books—Macavity's not there!
You may search the whole Smith Institute, or the Cash-for-Honours affair—
But I tell you once and once again, Macavity's not there!
Macavity's a peculiar cat—he's full of tricks and wiles.
He mutters and he mumbles and he hardly ever smiles.
He scarcely talks to colleagues, his head is highly domed
His suit is dusty from neglect, his hair is all uncombed.
He juts his jaw from side to side; he never can relax.
Except when he is planning to impose his hundredth tax.

Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity,
For he's a grudge in human form, a monster of depravity.
He won’t support tuition fees; he won’t back Tony Blair.
And as for foundation hospitals—well, Macavity's not there!
The Cabinet is stuck with him. (It’s said they live in fear.)
And he gives his Budget to the House exactly once a year.
But when defence is looted, or the pension funds are rifled,
Or the tax credits go missing, or John Hutton is found stifled,
Or a greenhouse gas is rising, and Lord Turnbull in despair—
Ay, there's the wonder of the thing! Macavity's not there!
And if he doesn’t like you, then you know that, without fail
You’ll wake up to nasty briefings printed in the Daily Mail.
There may be a scap of paper in the hall or on the stair
But it's useless to investigate—Macavity's not there!

And when the loss has been disclosed, the civil service say:
"It must have been Macavity!"—but he's a mile away.
You'll be sure to find him brooding, or a-chewing of his hand
As he works out how exactly to get rid of Miliband.
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macacity,
He’s doesn’t care for social grace; he’s short on charm and suavity.
He always has an alibi, or one or two to spare:
And whatever time the leak took place—MACAVITY WASN'T THERE!
And they say that all his colleagues who hold his name in dread
(I might mention Norwich South; I might mention Birkenhead.)
Are nothing more than ciphers for the Cat who never lacks
An excuse to raise some revenue: the Napoleon of Tax!

Yes the dour Scot is at it again, he has signed away our EU rebate and in return has got the UK taxpayer nothing in return:

Brussels took its revenge last night for a decade of prickly confrontations with Gordon Brown when it chose a moment of political weakness for the chancellor to reveal the high price Britain had paid for an EU-wide deal on "carousel" fraud.

Exposing Mr Brown to the wrath of Britain's Eurosceptic tabloid press, officials in Brussels made it clear that the chancellor had been forced to engage in a classic piece of European horse-trading to persuade France to cooperate in the fight against fraudsters costing the EU billions of euros each year in lost VAT.

Full story here in The Guardian: http://politics.guardian.co.uk/eu/story/0,,2049661,00.html

France, which had blocked Britain's demands for the VAT derogation despite Mr Brown securing the support of the European commission, conceded in March that Britain could use "reverse charging" to combat fraud. But Paris has consistently demanded an end to the chèque britannique, negotiated by Margaret Thatcher in 1984.

Seems our tax and spend Chancellor did not see this one coming. Oh and he is not finished wasting our money yet, our one eye'd leader in waiting has his beady gaze on pouring our money in the craphole that is Africa:

After a few days on the defensive, Mr Brown will try to regain the initiative today by announcing a £20m grant to the United Nations Children's Fund to help maintain schooling in war zones and fragile states where education systems have broken down. It is part of his campaign to secure free education for the 80 million children who cannot go to school. Speaking at a conference in Scotland, he will urge other G7 countries to meet the commitments they made to the developing world at the Gleneagles summit in 2005.

Maybe he should spend the money on UK schools and help educate kids over here. Still thats Mccavity for you.
