'Work experience Chancellor' George Osborne should be sacked

[tractor]

....

All the 3 main political parties believe this bulltulip as they think they can get deals from India this way.

None of the 3 parties believe it, they just put it forward as a plausible policy when really, all they are doing is driving down costs for government and their friends in banks and big businesses. The majority of voters don't even understand it and it's outside of their domain so don't think it affects them.

The rest of us can gth as we are simply collateral damage.

No, but he keeps doing that - UK borrowing rises more than expected - Telegraph

He keeps spending too much money even though his mandate was to cut the spending:

"While tax revenues increased in the month by 3.6pc to £40.9bn, total Government spending only dipped by less than 1pc to £52.4bn."

WTF is he spending all this money on?!?!



He should have cut expenditure right at start 2 years ago and make taxes more competitors to wealth creators. Instead he increased capital gains tax, reduced massively annual investment allowance, made some empty promises about NI holidays, enterprise zones etc. He could not even cut top income tax rate properly.

Fair enough. I happen to agree with that

I am interested in knowing what AtW and the other clever clogg idiots think that Osbourne should be doing!

Should he be looking to borrow more money?

or what?

He should be getting even a basic bloody understanding of economics, and by that I mean he should be more qualified than me, with my crappy degree.

Of course the fact the rest of Europe and much of the world is wobbling and reeling is of no consequence, it's all his fault.

Yes you are right.

It is his fault.

This government does lack some joint up thinking on their policies i.e. pastry tax, caravan tax, charity donations.....

To be fair to Osborne he should be cutting public sector workers and he should be reducing taxes and encouraging growth activity (sorry lefties growth does not come from borrowing and spending on public sector workers). He has the small matter of having to deal with the fact that they are partnered with a bunch of lefty liberals

To be fair to Osborne he should be cutting public sector workers

he is

and he should be reducing taxes

Didn't you note the 50->45% tax drop he announced, as well as reducing business tax rates? Or did you mean you approved of those things and I inferred sarcasm falsely?

Reducing business rates?!?!

Bollocks - we just moved to bigger office which is wall split from half the floor kind of office and business rates idiots want to invoice us for whole floor despite us warning that we move into that place 2 months ago and asking to revalue it.

And guess their SLA on responding to emails - 14 days, still got no answer for email sent in early June

Sack the whole lot and abolish business rates even if that involves increasing corp tax.
