Lets Put On A Show ( G 20 ..Farce )

Have you ever seen one of those films where the kids are basically nice kids, with a tendency to burst into song , and there is some footling misunderstanding , and just when it seems that something not very tragic is about to happen ,the cry goes up . 'Hey ! Lets put on a show ! We can do it right here in the youth club.'
The feature of these dispiriting affairs is the utterly implausible spontaneity of the “Show ! In a trice decorations are applied , in a merry dancing way . For no obvious reasons harmony goes viral , everyone is so happy and singing and together in the “Show “ that the boys gets the girl ,the father forgives the boy, and anyone who has been watching in slack jawed car crash disbelief ,blinks ,and lunges for the remote.
I doubt anyone could miss the fact I am talking about the all singing all dancing G20 . Everyone is so harmonious , that the fact there is no money and no new agreement is lost in the sheer Joie de vivre.
I hate to spoil the fun but , “Making available an extra $1 trillion”is a cheap trick. Not a penny of cold hard cash has been pledged . IMF Funds have not trebled to $750 billion, the extra $250bn is just a target. .Japan contributed $100bn to the IMF in January , not now . The EU has agreed to contribute $100bn at the last EU summit , not now . China`s $40bn is more or less the finger to the whole thing .A trade insurance scheme is called a “Kickstart." And $250 billion .(over two years) Actually it’s an illusory $125 billion shuffled into a more prominent position , not money . The OECD has been publishing lists of non-compliant nations, for the last year but ,in the show ,its called a “Breakthough “ on tax havens . The Ban on new trade barriers is a hope ,which will be ignored as night follows day .
But what about the grand finale . The Hall goes dark and the dark misunderstood brooding anti hero takes the stage . He is singing directly to his dearest love ,who we shall; call Miss Re-election........ He takes the Microphone nervously ,but with gowing cconviction...
“For the first time, (People are sobbing )...” we have come together....” ( even old dad shed a sneaky tear ) “... to set principles, for the global finance system.” ........ Suddenly Miss Re-election sees she has not understood this man she runs to the stage folds him in her arms and .....turn the stupid thing off !
It means .nothing whatsoever of course , and if I want to sooth my nerves with some amiably moronic entertainment I`ll go for the real thing. Cliff ... ....
Young Ones (ooooeee ) Darling we`re the Young ones wweeeoo .Now that’s quality bullshit .
