hilarious history

alright i just thought of this relatively random stuff. as we all studied about the welfare state in our wonderful social studies lessons from our interesting teachers, we learn that when the welfare state was introduced, before leading to abuse, everything seemed very idealistic right. so at that time before the introduction of the welfare state, the government wanted support for the welfare state, so they thought of coming up with a slogan to actually get the general public talking about the welfare state. and after much discussion, they came up with a slogan. " united, we stand " the reason why they came up with that slogan was because they want the general population to stand together, supporting one another along the way, in simple terms, it is the strong helping the weak to stand on their own feets. a long message behind a short slogan indeed. however, when the welfare state came into practise, it was shown to be a failure, yesyes we all know why it was a failure so i shall not take over the role of your social studies teacher. and when the welfare state was proven to be a failure, the government faced much opposition. the british wanted to do away with the welfare state. and so the opposition party thought this will be a good chance, to rub salt into the wound that cannot be treated by the welfare state. in one of their rallies, the opposition added a few wise words to the slogan the government came up with to praise the welfare state. and it worked! are you wondering what the new slogan was? it goes " united we stand " , yes that's the exact same slogan, but wait, they added " tired we sit " behind. indeed, that was the situation in great britain. after helping each other get on their feet, they realised that they needn't work so hard since the government can take care of their needs. so they all sat down and wait for the government(:

history is so fun.
