Would've liked the road tax cuts to apply to all vehicles, but other than that i'm pretty happy with it.
Optimistic as ever |

Nice to see the Tories continue there assault on the emergency services.... 1% pay increase frozen for four years.. You're all heart George.. Thanks mate.
And you know this how? A quick show of hands?.. I was saved from a 10% cut because people would've have simply left, not gone on strike.

I can't go on strike... Thousands are leaving my job but it still doesn't stop this governments relentless assault on it.
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

And you know this how? Plenty in the private sector will get significantly more. But the *guarantee* of a 1% rise does not exist outside of the public sector. There's plenty of sensible stuff in the budget; I think Labour will find it difficult to mount a huge opposition to it. Firstly because they're still unsure about how "tough" on benefits they have to be and secondly because a lot of it was Labour policy or is akin to Labour policy before the election.

All seems pretty common sense. No housing benefit for under 21s. I had mates who moved out of happy family homes because they could get a place for nothing. It's unproductive and halts any aspiration to actually get a job to get your own place. £9 living wage, even if it hits companies profits who have minimised their tax exposure on those anyway, a no-lose. Capping child benefit. Hoepfully a return to an era when people would have kids only when they were financially stable rather than having 12 for the rest of us to pay for. No social housing over £30k. I can't believe you were previously allowed to earn anywhere near that much. Cut on tax relief on buy-to-let mortgages. Another thing I'm shocked to hear actually existed. Boost to cadet units in schools is a great idea. Pension increase to Vicotria and George Cross recipients, could have been extended to the wider forces. Student grants replaced by loans (loan increased). Half of all the debt is never repaid anyway. I don't want to agree that it keeps poor kids out of education, as I my grant was just beer money but I'd favour moves that actually see people encouraged to get a job like apprenticeships. The reaction from Labour predictably only mentions benefit cuts and not the actual benefit delivered to working families. It goes to show really what they're all about and what the voters want them to be about and thus why I'm thankful every day for a Tory majority government. At last a post that looks at the budget in the correct way rather than a them and us way. The country has been getting better and stronger over the past 5 years and with a majority government now we will see things being done as the Tories wanted to do but where held back by the Lib Dems. No one can say the Austerity cuts have been bad for us as more people have gone back to work as they were caught "stealing" from the tax payer.....to put it another way "sat on their arses" doing nothing but getting money for nothing. Any budget by any government will get bad press or people giving it one......imagine if Labour had got in instead and where we would be in a couple of years......I dread to think I really do !!!
Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |

If Labour had got in then the budget would have been largely similar.

If you were in the Police in Kiev they'd have fired you for a younger and more photogenic replacement! You joke Stuk but I don't think we are to far away from that here.. Sir Bernard already said in an article last month that he wished he could replace 'older, white officers' with younger people that better represented the 'community' of London. (Ethnic minorities basically) I work with a guy who has 4 years left to do. He has been shot once, stabbed twice, had half his ear bitten off and received 8 commendations during his career.... He's white as well How pleased he must feel to go through all that for Sir Bernard to make those comments..

Mate it's not just the police who are evil, white and male. Where's our minister and positive discrimination?

On the plus side, I'm going to be quite a bit better off.
