What did you think of Darling's budget?

These Bugets are not for us mere mortals we are really not in the equation we are only the means of keeping the establisment aflote .So that they can keep their hands in the HONEY pot they have to keep them there because they cant pull them out. This is shown as they keep on increaseing their salarys and pensions irispective of the situation . The never ending story .they are not public servants they are the ruleing classes we are mearly serfs and that includes the political party's and untill the people of Britain wake up to this fact it will continue . As for the rescue of the banks they are the ones who should be paying back all of the excess not increaseing taxes on the people .If the Government cut their spending on usless projects and salarys .and this includes local tax's on the rates and business premises we may get some where. Hospitals are a point the government has pumped millions into the NHS what has happened to it .If you look its gone in BIG salarys payments to staff and management And expencive cars and offices .The Manaement are more concerned about their pay and pension rights than the patient's .And this is true over the whole cover of public sector .You became a nurse Fireman Policeman council worker because the pay was lower but you where never sacked you where looked after,and received a good pension . Now its the other way round and they still want it all. Oliver Crowell is turning in his Grave.

Where exactly are we borrowing this 175 billion from and how are we going to pay it back when they turn the knuckle screws on us Britains. Have you bought any Gold yet. It is important to get out of this recession or are you just sending us purposefully to the dogs because YOU CAN'T work out how to get us to succeed through this with your mind then? We are on a way to winning and will be there very shortly; not due to your giving up, but due to a network of people across the U.K. who think more about trying and our success than giving up and failing in the 1970's straight away. We are going to win. It is only a matter of time now. So you'd better do something to your budget to match that now, PLEASE!

The 50% tax figure was a masterstroke by the government. It's completely hidden the fact that ordinary people will be taxed more through the usual beer, cigs and petrol increases. And nobody noticed the true increase in income tax and national insurance.

The real increases will happen after the election thta Labour still hopes to win. The only thing we can be sure of is that MP's pay, pensions and expenses will be safe.

NEW LABOUR ? Forget it. This bunch is just as socialist as ever -their policies based on envy as they always were. They talk about "a fair society" but just look at the present income tax rates and ask yourself if they are REALLY fair.
Take two people with the same basic allowances - one earing £20000 a year, the other £150000. Both will have the same tax-free allowance of £6475 and will then pay 20% on the first £37400 (= £2705 tax) The person on £20000 pays no more but the other guy pays 40% on the rest (=£42450 !)
That means the first guy pays 13.5% of his income in tax, The other pays £30% in tax. So, for receiving 7.5 times the salary of the lower paid guy, he pays 15 times as much tax!!
Doesn't sound very fair to me! (I have no axe to grind as I'm a pensioner on far less than £20000 pa!)

To Sue,

You've got me wrong my Dear.

It was you who suggested people were silly.

I was merely pointing out what happened to bring this debacle about.

No I am not suggesting the Banks have bear fault in this matter.

Some of these people need sorting out, BIG TIME, it's a pity this lame Government haven't the courage to do do it.

No I am not suggesting that Gordon Brown (the best chancellor we've ever had, F**** H***) changed the rules in all countries: but he allowed it here, that is my point.

By the way he didn't have to change it in America were all this started, he didn't have to, they had already done so, under the incredibly intelligent, Bush.

If you allow Rats in your home my Dear, they will steal your food.

Now do you get my point.
