    Don't ask Beaker. He's just another muppet.

        Top rebuttal by Cameron! He certainly thinks on his feet.

        I thought he absolutely floored McBroon, although the BBC highlights will show otherwise.

        Compare that to Clegg now - he looks like a right muppet...

              I only saw the first twenty minutes of the budget on TV and it looked as though he had been given the budget speech the night before. I can't believe how often he was tripping up over his words.

                    "We are going to tackle tax avoidance"....what the feck does that mean?...

                    ...some of you are managing your affairs in a tax efficient way and we are missing out so we are going to move the goalposts and tax you anyway through some ill worded legislation that we can interperet any way that suits us?

                      Yeah, right - Via the likes of EDS or Accenture, or some private sector intermediary, which the Government will instruct to ensure contractors are caught bang to rights by IR35.
