Talk about a big exit wound

Politics in England is just as bad as it is on this side of the pond. The liberals were tossed out in a narrow vote and the new conservative government is moving into office. One of the party members found a note. From the London Daily Mail:

Labour Minister's parting shot: Dear Chief Secretary, I'm sorry to tell you there is no money... kind regards and good luck
Labour delivered a final two-fingered salute to Britain by boasting 'there's no money left' on leaving office, it emerged yesterday as it became clear that the true size of the national debt is more than �2trillion.

The new Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Liberal Democrat David Laws, revealed that he arrived at his office to discover a handover note from his Labour predecessor Liam Byrne.

It read: 'Dear Chief Secretary, I'm afraid to tell you there is no money. Kind regards and good luck!' Traditionally, departing ministers leave detailed and constructive private advice for their successors, whatever their party.

And if Labour had won the election, how would they have sustained operations? These people simply do not think about the consequences of their actions.
