Memo to G. Brown, No 10 Downing St from Peter M
Gordon,
If the reports that the Drug trade in Afghanistan is worth $410B annually then a whizzo idea to get us out of this deep shit creek your policies have gotten us into is as follows:-
1) Bomb the hell out of the poppy fields in helmand. I'm sure the boffins at ****** (Censored) have some super weedkiller that attacks the popies.
2) Stop selling of that unused MOD land and trun it over to growing said popies now that
a) Afghanistan can't supply the worldwide need
b) Sell the home grown poppy crop on the black market after turning it into Heroin
3) The cash (under the table naturally) income would clear our debt in 1-2 years.
4) Once that is done, sell the idea to our friend the US Pres so that he can do the same
I think this is a sure fire way (probably the only way) that I (sorry we) can win the forthcoming election
Yours (with knife held behind my back)
Peter
(Peter M for PM. Seems to have a nice sound don't it.... Only joking)
Ok, its the end of the day and a pint of T.E.A awaits.
