Oh and they then use the figures to dazzle a general public who don't understand money on a grand scale. "Cuts made saving British tax payers £15 million per year!!" the headlines scream. "Oh derp derp look at dem zeroes dat is a lot of money derp!" says Bobby tax payer.

Absolutely no understanding that in terms of government budgets and the deficit, £15million per year is for all intents and purposes, so close to zero that it's completely insignificant.
