The Chanceller and his really crap and bad idea of saving us from resession!!

If this contry ever comes out the other side of this we will be more s**t then ever!! How is that a good idea. But then why should he worry. If he gets the sack he will have a huge pay off or if he doesn't his wage and pention will keep him more then comfortable. And I would be williing to put money on this. If we do get through the ressision pentions will be hit, unless you are an MP that is!!

Labour f**k it up every time they are in power more then one term, so why do people keep voting them in?! (no offence intended if you a labour supporter)

Well basically he is borrowing our way out of debt. So by the time the resession is over the uk will be 5 TRILLION pounds is debt. Which mean at the end of it all taxes will go up higher then they already are, main ones being income tax, fuel, alcohol, and tobacco duties. He has lowered VAT but that makes no difference to highter fuel bills, petrol or food shopping. Only 'luxuary' shopping. And he has only taken off £2.50 to every £100.

Hope that makes sence
ohh on the plus side child benifit and child tax has gone up.
