It's Not My Fault!

Top ten John Key excuses why unemployment has risen:
  • "Unemployed" is such a pejorative term. Let's instead use the term "recreationally enabled".
  • IT'S ALL LABOUR'S FAULT!!
  • Volcanoes.
  • I like cute animals. Can we talk about them instead?
  • Flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag... still here? flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag flag...
  • Can we blame God for this?
  • These things take time. It's like a fine wine, and I should know because I've got cellars of the stuff. "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche!"
  • Global warming.
  • Don't worry - we're on top of this issue, and our projections are accurate. Bill English just last week predicted unemployment would not hit 7%, and he was right. We may not see unemployment break below the 7% mark for many years.
  • IT'S ALL LABOUR'S FAULT!!
