The spokesperson went on to reveal that cards will also be available for differing types of bad news including those who are struggling to keep their benefit entitlement.
“It’s important that people realise others are thinking about them,” the spokesperson told us.
“I’m sure spirits will be lifted by cards with messages like ‘I Hope the repossession goes well’ and ‘I’m sorry to hear that the government doesn’t think you’re disabled enough’.”
“Not all the cards will be sympathy cards though,” added the spokesperson.
“We’ve also got some ‘Congratulations on your Bailout’ and ‘Well done on your enormous bonus’ cards lined up.”
