Gawd help us if IDS goes to Finland for his holidays this year…...

A Finnish politician has proposed implanting benefit claimants with microchips to stop them using public money to fund “lavish lifestyles” abroad.

“All those who buy or sell shall be forced to wear the mark of the beast”

I propose that all politicians should be implanted with a microchip, linked to a small explosive device, programmed to explode whenever they lie, misrepresent facts, misuse their expenses, or come up with ludicrous ideas like this!

Dear me- and I always thought they were such nice people. Clearly, Finns aren’t what they used to be….

Perhaps we could create cat flaps at immigration control that are only operated by a microchip implant. Funny reading.

And only after the microchip is implanted are you told that it will self destruct in 24hrs unless you go into the big City and return to your job coach with compelling evidence of a job.  Ominously, the job coach is Lee Van Cleef and you’re told Donald Pleasence is recruiting. IDS is the Duke/A number 1.
