    Basically the vast majority of people are just going to get poorer in real terms.
    That pretty much sums up now and the next few years.

    Published inflation figure <> true inflation

    Proclaimed income tax levels <> true tax via council and other stealth measures

    You will be considerably poorer than the piggies with their snouts in the EU trough.


    This budget is a crock of sh1t... I hope Ozzy or Cable comes back with something sensible to counteract the bulltulip going on...

    If I hear the word "child poverty" again I shall eat another slice of fois gras...
    If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.
