The Budget

We're all doomed I say... doomed.....

Fingers crossed we keep Cycling England, or something similar... an obvious target for instant savings without pissing off tha majority of voters :(

If he puts higher taxes on Pickled Onion Monster Munch then, I'm going to kick off, big time.

olympics in two years, the one sport that britain clearly excels at... i think it's probably safe. fingers crossed, though.

Monster Munch is shit

I'm more worried about Pork Scratchings

Monster Munch is shit

Lies.

we all need to take a bit of pain and suffering once in a while
it's good for the soul

olympics in two years, the one sport that britain clearly excels at... i think it's probably safe. fingers crossed, though.

I imagine the sport side to be safe for 2 years, it's all the other stuff that benefits the general public out of "everday cycling promotion" that we could easily lose today.

cutting benefits AND corporate tax. clearly noone from the lib dems was available when the budget was being devised.

Monster Munch is shit

Crumble muncher.

So what is coming? 20% VAT, what else?

A universal freeze on the use of freelancers

cutting child benefit from families earning more that £40k per year
stopping winter fuel payments to OAP's with more than a million ion the bank
increasing the lower end of the tax bracket by a grand so 100's of thousands of people on lower incomes will be £200 better of per year

Already implemented... Extended contracts only for the foreseeable future...

increasing the lower end of the tax bracket by a grand so 100's of thousands of people on lower incomes will be £200 better of per year

As well as those with their own limited companies who pay themselves fuck all and then top up with quarterly dividends...

Result!

Cliveo, Fat Frank, JT and Cashley all to pay higher taxes, hopefully

taxing, testing and MOT's for bike
£15 pounds per year annual fee

20% VAT
25% Departmental budget cuts.

Ace! (that's me being sarcastic)

£75 departure tax for flying long haul

If the talks of increasing personal allowances by £1000 goes through we will all be £15 a month better off! Woo!
But it will be spent on the 2.5% hike in VAT.

jesus. this budget's a disaster. ridiculously huge public spending cuts. cuts in corporate tax. vat up to 20%. last one out turn off the light, etc.

Unfortunately we are all going to have to swallow some bitter medicine if we are going to drag ourselves out of this mess

bleeding labour

Yes - it is only right that the most vulnerable and dispossessed pay more heavily than the rich who caused this.
