[jkoder]

I think the daily mash summed it up best.

Some crackers on that site at the moment.

Not too long before we go to the IMF then !!

I don't think UK will do that because it's not polite to arrive uninvited...

Cameron did well - that Darling and Brown persons are impossible to listen to even if they were saying some good useful stuff.

Cameron is doing ok in his speech - but I'm sick of seeing Brown laughing all the time. What has that git got to laugh about.

Cameron's head nearly exploded there.

[Rookie]

How's he going to pull that one off?

Probably a job in a different country.

[Jog On]

All long-term unemployed under 25s to be offered job or training

Darling is just a sockpuppet, it's just the question whose - Gordon Brown's or sasguru's, given the idiocy of that sockpuppet I am not sure which one...

[PM-Junkie]

....anyone else get the feeling that this speech was written by Gormless Brown?

.......and that this guy hasn't got the first clue what he's doing? In laymen's terms, this is like losing your job and then increasing your spending anyway to keep your kids happy - safe in the knowledge that your wife is going to dump you for someone else, and so you won't be responsible for paying the bills.

Who votes for these cretins?

Looks like he removed personal allowance for people earning £100k+.

Tobacco duty up from 6pm tonight.

2000 duty frees in the cupboard -

New tax rate of 50% for all those with finances complicated enough to be able to avoid it.

£1bn target to reduce tax avoidance.

Gordon Brown looks like he's been on the p1ss last night.

Trident will be candelled.

Scented candles as well.

That measure will drop the bill by a fiver.

1235 Mr Darling says he expects the economy to start improving later this year.
