The son went away to contemplate this. Later that evening he was walking through the house when he spotted his Dad and the au-pair in bed, his Mum asleep in the next room, and his baby brother crying in his cot having filled his nappy. The next day he bumped into his Dad, who asked "Did you think about what we discussed yesterday?"
"Yes", said the son, "from what I have seen in our family, it appears that the Government is screwing the working class, the Finance Minister is asleep on the job, and our future is in deep shit!"
