Why I'm glad I'm not a British taxpayer

Just spotted this entertaining stream of consciousness on the ever insightful, always amusing, Football365 Mediawatch page.

Thought For The Day
Joey Barton plays for Newcastle, Newcastle are sponsored by Northern Rock. 'The Rock' are now owned by the taxpayer - in other words, us. Therefore we pay Barton's wages. In addition to this he is now being held at Her Majesty's Pleasure so not only are we paying his wages, but we are also paying for his accommodation.
Above: Joseph when he was still a free man, a model athlete it has to be said.
