What did you expect Cameron to do? Maybe stand up and say "Marvellous stuff, exactly what we would have done if we'd been in power"?

Opposition attacks governments policies - hardly funkin news is it?

I am very much in the 20% tax threshold and the way my industry is going could be paying no tax soon Sunshine.


I promise to buy a copy of the Big Issue off you provided it does not contain any of your film reviews.
 


Missing out on the joys of Cameron but just seen the budget and it is OBSCENE. The government continue to fly in the face of forecasters across the country with their predictions for the UK economy. And borrowing of £175bn in 2009.

I don't actually know how he managed to have the bravado to stand there and deliver this joke.

Correct and like most of his "policies" Cameron remain very vague about what he would actually do in power.

And you have all the credibility on the matter of Gary Glitter passing judgement on childcare. Give it up.

Cameron - wanker

Quite right, should be much higher.

Still always nice to see Gareth getting in touch with his inner peasant - keeping tugging that forelock and Master Dave might let you become his fag on a permanent basis.


These gems. Well I'm convinced.

That is a tired old myth, dusted off and trotted out EVERY time there is a debate about Labour V Conservatives. He said for 80 minutes in his party speech exactly what they would do.

Lee, you smart enough to realise that "Lefties" have never had much time for Neo-Labour.

The idea that "Dave" and his band of Nottinghillbillies are going to offer anything other that service cuts for most of the population and handouts to their wealthy friends is, however, where we possibly part company.

But they're not brave enough to admit that Labour has right royally f***ed this country for decades.

Or that posh people are entitled to be part of the democratic process or may actually not all be arseholes.

Did you get some of those figures? £600 billion. More than every other uk borrowing ever added together.

We are at 80% Gdp. We have been f***ed over.

Labour have been in power for under 12 years after 18 years of Tory rule, so they may fail the "decades" test The problem IMO is that both of them have clung to the same dogmatic neo-liberal economic policies in which debt fuelled consumerism and a casino financial sector take the place of a properly balanced economy and industrial base.

Quite right. Couldn't agree more. The solution, according to Labour, to a problem caused by over-borrowing is *drumroll please*: further excessive borrowing.

Brilliant.

The 50% tax band will raise approx £1bn a year... the govt are planning, even with their quite fanciful growth forecasts at 3.5% in 2012/3/4, borrowing over the next 4 years of £600,000,000,000.

The fuel duty rise will raise £1.8bn a year, from every business, working person, pensioner etc...

The high rate tax change is the class politics of ENVY and SPIN and nothing else.
