Gordon the "Tory Slayer" and his "masterful" Budget
I too was not contracting under the tories so can't answer, only the old dinosaurs here like Xoggoth and Tony English and BlasterBates can answer that.
'Don't you think the coming fall will wipe out a lot of the gains we may have made?',
I have been sending a clear message during this whole thread, if contractors have been wise with their rewards then if the predicted crash which let's face it everybody has been predicting since the .dot con crash, if such a crash happens and if contractors have been prudent and invested their gains then they will only benefit from a crash
I only hope there is another 5 years or so before the crash, just enough time to really cushion the benes nest
Who can answer whether the economy thrived because of NL or inspite of NL, who can answer that ?
Who can predict the future ?
Milan.
I have invested wisely mon ami.
I have bought a house. When the crash comes I will be sitting in my wholly owned house looking out at the ex rent-junkies sleeping on the street as they cannot afford their rent anymore.

How old are you milan?
Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
Now now SA, you don't believe that any more than I do. Now Tony Blair is another matter - I know you've got a special place for him...
Gordon is a bit strange though. He said he was an Arctic Monkeys fan, but when asked for his favourite track he couldn't name a single title. Why do it?
He's not exactly Mr Connect-with-people either, is he. Treats everyone around him with contempt.
Even Gordon's proposal to his wife went something like:
"I must breed. You will mate with me. What is your name?"

Well the Tory Shadow defence Minister is very much a Bowie fan - I know as he still has my 1977 copy of Diamond Dogs - the one which showed Bowie mutalating into a dog complete with dog's testicles - literally the dogs bolloxs - which was subsequently airbrushed from later releases.
The above was considered shocking in 1977 but these days - anything goes.
This budget is rather stupid, middle incomes and the rich won't really notice anything, as pointed out the real losers are those on 17k or less without kids and more so those on <10k without kids. This will create more benefit depndants as the advantage of moving off benefits and into low paid work is diminished. Fiscal dragtastic!
