David Cameron's model for the UK economy in three seconds

As usual all manner of political acts can be defined in clips from the Simpsons, Python, Arrested Development, or in this case MST3k:
The UK has fallen deeper into recession than previously thought, confirming that the country has officially entered a double-dip. Data from the Office for National Statistics showed that the economy shrank faster than previously estimated between October and December last year, with a decline of 0.4%.

So true. If only satire could reach these dullards.

I have the distinct feeling that this is all going to plan. Driving the economy into a ditch doesn't hurt the wealthy, who want to see the government destroy the social safety net in pursuit of deficit reduction without raising taxes.

In the UK, particularly, they may get what they want.

They'll also get mass riots in the streets.
