Budget

Cut deep and quick
Get the pain over with so we can enjoy the fruits and get Conservatives back in for another term in 5 years. Can't knock gorgeous George for wanting a high wage low tax low benefit economy. A budget for working people is music to my ears!

Well that was what is becoming a typical Osborne budget. Highly political, long on rhetoric, short on economic intelligence. Sops to the rich, hits to the poor, some meaningless meddling, the odd decent move and the usual hits on welfare. One nation Tory in the classical sense it was not.

Osborne's main thrust was making sure he is in the best position to replace Cameron as PM, so we got a very right wing Tory budget that his backbenchers would have loved.

They just cant help being the Nasty party though. It is in their DNA. I agree with the great Nye Bevan who said "No amount of cajolery can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory party. So far as i am concerned they are lower than vermin"

And is it backdated? I'd need it to go back to 1982.

1% for public sector regardless of anything so effectively a pay cut with inflation at 2-3% what a set of cunts

Sounds like another one of George's smoke n' mirrors, sleight-of-hand, Greek gifts!

Looks like a good deal to me. Unfortunate for the workshy.
