Letter From The President: Jobs for the boys and girls

Countrymen and women, loyalists and opponents,

With the presentation of my state of the nation address, I have spelt out my plans for my second term on the Black Star Stool. I must warn you that things are not going to change much and so don?t expect too much from me ? otherwise, you will be sorely disappointed.

I must also point out that whether you like it or not, I am going to increase petroleum prices ? unless something drastic happens to change my mind. To be forewarned is to be forearmed, so please brace yourselves up for a major shocker in the months ahead. Bear in mind that things have to get worse before they get better.
