This stuff is just fiddling about the edges....the bugger will come in dept spending cuts which lead inevitably to job loses in the public sector....

The bastards (Labour) left the biggest peace time deficit in history. What the fuck do you expect them to do?

The government has very little choice but to raise taxes and cut spending. Everyone knows that. Labour would have done it as well, abeit in a less severe fashion.

Not a great deal to be surprised or outraged about, there are quite a few measures that actually improve things for people on low incomes, although where the budget actually leaves them overall after the VAT rise remains to be seen .

VAT increases are the best way to increase taxation.

I don't buy anything much anyway.

The capital gains tax "entrepreneurs relief" rate of 10% on the first £2m of gains will be extended to the first £5m.

It seems to me the rich getting richer, and the poorer struggling to survive.

Public sector workers are lower paid than there counterparts in the private sector, so that's why I think it's unfair.

What the fuck are people complaining about? We're in the shitter and need to do this sooner rather than later.  It's not like the Con-Dems haven't been telling us since they formed the goverment that this was coming.
