I think that Gordon has ...

...taken my 10% and given me back 2%.

I certainly don't get any of the 40%.

This may happen sometime in the future when he can blame someone else.

More good news ... My council tax has gone up to over ?1200 ... that really helps.

Thieving cunts.

Wonder when I can earn some extra cash to feed my family.

Hope they crash their Jags.

    Just find out were they park, and then key the paintwork.

    How come theyve never put up the level for earnings for 40% tax ? When i was a kid the only people who were taxed 40% were doctors and bank managers kind of thing. Now with more and more people earning 30k + theres so many more people being taxed 40%. Surely the amount you earn to be taxed 40% should go up a lot ?

    Usual budget, tons of spin, tons of stuff which look alright on paper but dig deeper and its rubbish. Hopefully be his last one

    Isn't that what he's just done? Well, at some point in the future, only announced.

    Didn't Tony make a huge song and dance about the "Fantastic New 10% Bracket Especially to help those on the lowest incomes."

    I honestly don't know, I wasn't there ... if anyone was there with a camera-phone maybe they caught some pics for us? Anyone? No takers? Oh, well then.

    Would have been funny to see Tony dance though ... would have made a funny Spitting Image skit ... or it might have landed somewhere on Utoobe.

    ... yet to have his minions alerted to how much cash in hand money I earn. :D

    However as they can tax you retrospectively that will no longer matter.

    Gordon will stick his thumb up his ass and guess the average amount of cash in hand money earned by his loyal subjects and will impose a 50% windfall tax based on this imaginary figure backdated to the point of birth.

    Drastic times call for drastic measures.

    I hereby formally request the breaking of the Union. As Gordon is a Scot. They can have him back, and welcome to him.

    The 2% tax reduction is just Gordon's way of trying to buy his way to the premiership. For the vast majority of the country no-one is actually any better off. I wouldn't trust and would certainly never vote for him.
    Recent polls put the Conservatives up 15 points ahead, a lot of this is due to the country expecting Gordon Brown to be PM imminently.

    Meh, I never expect a windfall in the Budget, just to more-or-less break even.

    The only action involving wind over here is if I break it. And recently I've been causing plenty of carnage.

    Skarpo- "Does that even count?"

    The Tories are only about 10% ahead at the moment. The polls which are giving them leads of around 15% are based upon the premise that Gordon Brown is Labour leader. It's no surprise that Brown is more unpopular than Blair.

    Hopefully Labour will come to their senses and elect another leader.

    I'm more concerned with this government's determination to bring into law the abomination that is ID Cards.

    Thankfully the tories will scrap the plans if elected, which gets my vote. That, and Cameron's favourite album being "The Queen is Dead" by The Smiths :-p
