Did anyone see Gordo and Dave walking together to the Queens Speech? Gordo looked relaxed and was smiling without (seemingly) a care in the world. Dave looked extremely nervous - I think he's realised what's in store after the next election. Could be the election no-one tries to win...Speaking gibberish on internet talkboards since last Michaelmas. Plus here on Twitter -
They wil bring in just as many as Labour will if they get back in.Comment

I think they'll introduce some sort of change to the council tax so that the tax is per person living in the house, rather than being based on the cost of the house.
Its only fair, after all more people = more drains on local resourcesCoffee's for closersComment

Wasn't that the community charge, where housewives got bills for services for the first time. Not that the concept of housewife means much these days.Originally posted by Spacecadet View PostThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

Not so sure. Whoever wins will need to make the same kind of improvement to our overall balance of payments. Labou r won't cut public spending nor borrowing so will have to raise taxes across the board. Tories are rather more likely to cut public spending and borrowing (cue manicscreams of "what about the nurses!!!" and "It's Thatcher reincarnate" from the less aware members of our society) and so would need to raise taxes rather less.
Both approaches will cause pain and problems, and we are stuck with Brown's legacy for many years to come. However, I prefer the Tory mantra of letting me decide what I spend my money on.Blog? What blog...?

Lots of nice, shiney new green taxes, sadly.
I think the public sector cuts will not be as deep as required. No bonfire of the quangos either.
I think pretty much the same business as normal, although I hope I'm proved wrong.If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment

There will be - the only tax pledge that the tories have firmly made is to change inheritance tax for the rich.Originally posted by Bagpuss View PostI expect some people think there will be tax cuts, now that is funnyComment
