I think that means the planed 3p rise in August is going to happen, welcome to 150p/litre of diesel !!!!

Cameron looks like Churchill the nodding dog...

 

[Cosimo]

50p top tax rate dropped to 45p.

 

[Hatter The Mad]

I was always skeptical about the 50p tax rate (ie really how beneficial or harmful it is), but if Osborne is right these skews are way higher than anyone anticipated. I need to see the report, but if my beermat maths are right it has cost us money over the last 2 years?

 

[Glaucus]

Good, 50p gone, replaced with 45p.

Of course jealous people will be up in arms, but it makes no sense and harms the country.

 

[DiCe!]

Cameron looks like Churchill the nodding dog...

ohhhhhhh yes.

 

[matt100]

I can't wait for Ed Balls to have his say, I need a reason to turn the TV off and go out.

I'm with the guy a few posts up, I consider myself working class, I do OK but I just don't trust labour at all. I like living in a system where I have a fighting chance of keeping more of my money if I earn more rather than have loads of my money taken off me in case something bad happens.
