Having Trouble Counting?

First it was the two Eds (Balls and Miliband) multiply counting the same chunk of money to be spent nine or ten times over if they ever got their hands on the reins of power and the Treasury again.

Now it's local Labour blogger Tristan Osborne (yet again!) who did a Monty Python "Buying a Bed" skit and multiplied the nation's debt by a thousand in this tweet, just a few minutes ago...

"£1,000,000,000,000,000 <-- The debt.

 George Osbornes arrogance <-- Priceless."

Yes, that's a quadrillion Pounds, more money than exists on the planet. Of course, the level of debt is down to the situation left behind by Labour, as just about everyone apart from Labour and their cronies accepts and agrees. Fortunately the IMF have today endorsed the Coalition Government's fiscal policy, calling it "just about right".

Anyway, I pointed out the error in a tweet of my own, which resulted in a re-issued tweet with the figure corrected. He still thinks he's communicating with idiots who don't realise the irony – but I suppose that's just the way Labour folk are!

Oh, and Ken Livingstone's team have been getting the date of the London mayoral election wrong as well. They can't even seem to count to a hundred correctly...
