Bootiful!

They say that Communism is good until you run out of other people's money but the Capitalism system doesn't have that problem because when it runs out of other peoples money it just turns to the Government who hand over oodles of other people's money or as we call them, our taxes.
Of course they don't call it Communism, Socialism or even Nationalisation because they are all nasty Marxist lefty things so they prefer to say they are 'Saving Christmas' because one of the things about to collapse was the supply of Turkeys.
We saw it with the banks when over £200bn of our taxes went to private owned banks instead of equipping hospitals or silly things like that and it is happening again now with an unknown amount being shoveled towards the CO2 producers who had threatened to pack up their things and go home because the price of gas was forcing them to not be quite so profitable until the Government stepped in waving a cheque book at them so Christmas is back on or it will be if they can sort out the shortage of migrant workers to slaughter and pluck the birds and get enough HGV drivers to deliver them to stores.
As what normally happens when the Government says everything is under control and not to panic buy, the British public took that as a clear message to panic buy and have been ordering Turkeys extra early to make sure they get one and the stuffing is literally not knocked out of their Christmas dinners.
Boris Johnson, who can always relied upon to say one thing and then completely renege on it, did say last year, after he cancelled Christmas get togethers due to Coronavirus, that 2021 was going to be a 'two-turkey Christmas' but when challenged on his comment with the shortage looming, joked that people can defrost last year’s bird instead although the following up question should have been with Gas bills rising by up to 40%, will the family home even be warm enough in December to defrost last year’s bird and if so, will there be any electricity or gas to cook it?
If the thought of not having turkey sandwiches, turkey salad and turkey soup until the other side of New Year fills you with horror, you could always go for a boars head but make sure they remove the eyes and it hasn't been anywhere near David Cameron or his pals. Eeewww.
