Following the success of the Government’s initiative to take old bangers off the road, the scheme was today extended to include another old policy wreck.
The Prime Minister today announced that scrapping the unwieldy National Identity Card would qualify for £2,000 each under these new regulations. With over 60 million cards due to be rolled out, the Government heralded the raising of over £12bn as a triumph, which would lead to new party follies being announced soon.

The FSA took the unusual decision today to condemn a number of Egyptian holiday deals as ‘just a pyramid scheme’.
Following earlier condemnation over its perceived slowness to regulate properly, an FSA spokesman warned potential customers against being ’sold down the river’, particularly in The Nile Basin area. The alleged scam involves bank details being exchanged for the promise of two weeks’ sunshine near Luxor, but the FSA were keen to point out that pyramid ‘could come tumbling down at any moment’.
When it was pointed out that they’d been fine for a long time now, the spokesman added ‘ah yes, but that’s what they said about that nice Mr Madoff’.
