World leaders agree rescue plan – ‘turn all the computers off and then turn them back on again’
An emergency summit of the Presidents and Prime Ministers of the G8 economies has hammered out a ‘workable rescue package’ that they claim will halt the current global economic meltdown and restore the markets to previous levels.
‘All these figures on the computers have got so complex and out of control, that we agreed it was probably best to turn the power off at the mains and see what happened when we turned them back on.’
With the presidency of George W. Bush entering its final months, and ‘fixture backlog’ making it increasingly unlikely the US’s anti-terrorism engagements in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere will finish with a definitive conclusion before November’s election, the Littlewood’s Pools Panel have stepped in to declare the result of the ‘War on Terror’ an ‘Away Win’.
