It's worth noting btw that they will be relaxing student funding for those retraining in STEM subjects and look to be setting up some institute of coding.
Must be that 'skills gap' they're always on about that prompted this.
That or the prospect of hooking graduates on yet more debt.
It means a radical assault on Britain’s dire productivity levels, our lack of skills and our bad infrastructure, even if this means that the deficit comes down more slowly in the short run. We know the problems. They are listed in the World Economic Forum’s index of competitiveness.

Not to mention that the only things keeping up the UK economy are house price rises and immigration.

Will these changes announced make house prices go up?
That's all that matters, **** contracting, working and all that old bollux.

Originally posted by Zero Liability View PostClearly not, if you don't want to end up in prison, or starve in the case of sales taxes. But I never said it was, much as I would prefer it were; I said it is for the Chancellor to justify the spending and the imposition, before bringing any moral posturing into the picture.

His sole vision is too take the middle ground and win the next election and make sure he doesn't upset his friends in the establishment
It seems it all hangs on the growth forecast. If that is accurate he gets a break. If not, we're screwed.

Heath on Osborne... He seems to now be realising he is no classical liberal but still uses the words 'small government' to describe him. Er... wot?
The Tories were elected to be radical – now they’ve lost their nerve - Telegraph
The man's little more than a cynical political opportunist, and I'd like to see how his election chances turn out should his fabricated predictions fail to materialise. Though given the lack of credible opposition, it'll be a case of 'just be glad we're not Labour'.
Glad I didn't waste a vote on these w@nkers.
