Thought it was quite reasonable if I'm honest, though they should have cut corporation tax quicker.

Gideon doesn't know the meaning of the word reasonable, and probably still wouldn't if you highlighted the definition in the dictionary and put a bookmark on the page.

The bloke has already failed every one of his own standards and targets for the Torys road to economic recovery, yet the recession still shows no signs of going away, as every leading economist confirms, and he still has the audacity to suggest these ridiculously high and widespread cuts to just about every public service is the way forward.

Please tell me how, just how, this baffoon is not the definition of an idiot?

Are you sure that wasn't just wishful thinking? :D

I'm not expert, but "Well, we're not really showing any signs of growth so that means we've got to stick with what we're doing" doesn't seem like the soundest policy to me.

I don't think i would be alone in saying I would pay good money to see that lol.

[BobG]

I'd pay extremely good money to bloody well do it!

It could have been alot worse I thought, considering the cuts at least they are not raising taxes and the continuing rise on the personal tax allowance is a good sign.

Its not a budget to save the nation but there was a few positives for the average worker, but it will be overshadowed by the housing reform and the "bedroom tax".

Im looking forward to the next budget in 2014, I expect VAT to come down and maybe a drop in income tax (typical tory policy before an election.)

Typical tory policy before an election - and there was I thinking that they all did it and all along it was just the Tories - well you live and learn!

By the way what did happen to Prudence Brown?

Well in a fashion your correct, but usually Labour put up taxes anyway so usually lowering them before an election to the levels they were before. You can see the appeal as well from Labours point of view; it gives them some support in the run in to the election and if they lose the Tories will bring it down anyway reducing it in a lower reduction (because Labour already reduced it slightly) so the Tories dont gain more support. Had income tax been reduced to 17.5% in 2010 in the first budget under this government people may have been more accepting to some of the othet policies.

I still maintain the coalition should have put Vince Cable as treasurer rather than Clegg as deputy PM.

The Tories have NEVER reduced VAT and I'd amazed if this lot did it.

[BillyStubbsTears]

There is more chance of George Osbourne using his family fortune to bail out Cyprus than there is of him reducing VAT. VAT is the Tory tax of choice - it hits the poorest hardest. That's why their first move whenever they need to raise tax is to put up VAT. They did it in 1979, 1991 and 2010. They will NEVER bring it down.

Didnt she get away with all the money at the end, leaving Samuel Jackson to cop the fall? 

Sound familiar?
