The Budget

[Lex]

Generally, Mr Osbourne seems to have presented another 'Austerity Budget'. He seems to have given us a little bit of money back (cancelling the 3p fuel tax rise, raising the tax allowance to £10,000 earlier than planned and reducing beer duty by 1p), but is still keeping a tight leash on spending. the extra money for infrastructure might do the economy some good.

Gidiot is relying on housing. The fool has learned nothing from what triggered the downturn. It's no good offering people a leg up onto the housing ladder if they can't afford it.

I also find it immoral the way the prudent in this country are being punished for living within their means. At l;east the EU were open over Cyprus, they were going to take a certain percentage of savings. Gidiot and the rabble have been far less honest and have robbed savers with low interest rates and QE! - I'll bet most of us have lost far more than 10%!
