I would have thought that would be the IDEAL incentive to get off their fat feckless workshy arses!!!

Well, at least we were told in 2008 that this was going to happen. Shame they couldn't spell "George" correctly though.

£33 on shopping in the year. At least it's not the VAT bombshell that we were told to worry about a few weeks ago

That would piss off the girl at the checkout having to weigh each of those fruits and vegetables one by one.

Typical tree huggers basket.

Where's the f**king pies and bottles of wine?

I would love to know how many people are truly poor, as in cannot afford food and shelter. It would seem the older I get the less sympathetic I become.

Sorry, I'm still getting over the shock that shopping will cost me about 10p a day more due to them money grabbing Tory *****.

You'd think paying back a £1 trillion pound debt was important or something.

And about 20 minutes to pass it!!

Misleading Guardian headline of the day

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2010/ju...hopping-basket

Budget: VAT rise will add £33 to average shopping basket - Shock headline for the tree huggers to fume and grab some lentils and comforting cardigan from the cupboard.

Jeez! £33 extra pounds every time you fill up a shopping basket. Fking outrageous rise them Tory f**kers!

The rise will add at least £33 a year to the average shopper's supermarket basket.

Oh I see. It's actually £33 extra a year.
