Why let politicians have all the fun? Now the British public can get in on the service slashing action too – via Facebook.
The government there has launched a Facebook group to support the Treasury’s “Spending Challenge” – where the public is invited to share their ideas for cutting spending.
With the possible exception of the idea to “Force cats to spend one hour a day on electrical treadmills” the Treasury site doesn’t yet display a particularly high degree of imagination with suggestions like “Cut benefits to immigrants”, “Abolish multilingual forms” and “Do not provide housing for teenage mothers” featuring prominently.
The Facebook component is launched in the video below by a fawning David Cameron (“Look me up next time you’re in town”) and his new BFF, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerman.
