Osborne: Govt has no need to increase taxes

[Doggy Styles]

That's quite a promise from a politican - lets see if it stays true:


Osborne: Govt has no need to increase taxes

That might be his intention now, but the economic situation changes monthly, let alone two or three years away. Let's see what happens when the eurozone problems rise again.

hehe, he said "no need" to increase taxes, that's not the same as "our Govt won't increase taxes"

[Doggy Styles]

Got a lot of time for that chap.

Unlike Balls who I'd string up without a 2nd thought.

The first thought being "I'll need a lot of help to hoist the fat barstard up there"

And yes, Darling made a decent impression on me too.

No mention of National Insurance in there I see.

Mind you if we do end up with politician who keeps his promises they'd probably have him stuffed and kept in a glass case as an example to future generations of a truly unique species

God preserve us, Loadsa Balls as chancellor.

We're doooooomed! Dooooooooomed, I tell ye! Dooooooomed!

Nope - Alistair Darling again.

Safe(r) pair of hands, who got savaged by the Brownite minions for telling the truth about how dire things were.

So he won't increase fuel, tobacco, alcohol duties? Or more likely he'd say those ain't taxes!

It does not matter what he promises anyway because he won't be elected, the only reason he is saying it to tell everybody later - look, you should have elected me instead!!!

Dunno if I am the only one thinking this but if he did raise taxes but actually make a difference with that money then I would say not raising them is a pretty stupid policy.

He added "The economy will be balanced by 2016, or my name isn't Jeffrey Osborne"
