Political Beatles

Lenin & McStavka
Real politics died 30 years ago.

Meantime, well known rock aficionados, Gordon 'Arctic Monkey' Brown and David 'Morrissey' Cameron, invite you to partake of a Beatles political songtitle compo.

"Money can't [quite] buy you an election" - G.Brown
"Help" - Ed Miliband
"I think we'd better hold your hand" - Osborne to Vince Cable
"Yellow Latrine" Nick Clegg
"Strawberry playing fields for never" - D. Cameron

Your best efforts into the comments.

This all reminds me of the song, "Elephant in the Room"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elephant_in_the_Room

But it has another meaning.

Given JPM derivatives, and swaps books, the movement in long bond yields over the last few days signals the beginning of the end for western based paper money systems. And western economies.

You have to wonder how much longer the boyz can hold it all together.
How much more theft, how many more lies... how many more bought politicians???

This isn't going to be pretty!
