Irishbill at The Standard points out that our government’s wonderful new agreement with McDonalds is actually just a continuation of an agreement with the previous government.

So not only is the government so desperate for news that they’re fighting unemployment that they’ll resort to making a big deal of their McJobs program, they’re really so desperate that they’ll spin an old McJobs program as a new one.

Can someone explain to me why between the media and the opposition1 we haven’t had a snap election yet? Because they should be all over this sort of amateurism. Someone pinch me when the publicity charade ends.
