Law of Averages to be repealed.
The government has denied that it
has run out of sensible policy ideas after announcing that it is to use
parliamentary time before the next election to repeal the Law of
Averages.
“It’s not even a proper law,” said Prime Minister David Cameron, pointing
out the average value of the deficit can vary depending on whether the person
quoting the number is using the mean, modal or median value. “Obviously George
would like to keep his options open but we’re really getting stuck for things to
do in Parliament while we wait for the next election,” continued the PM today
adding “plus he makes the numbers up anyway”. Newsbiscuit.
