Poll: The Budget

[Glaucus]

All in all not a bad budget at all, in fact a lot of great stuff.

As I said earlier shame about green energy
And undecided on fuel tax, on the one hand everything uses fuel and it's stupidly expensive. On the other hand nearly everyone can cut their mileage down. Perhaps we need to learn to walk to the local shop a mile away.

Just stop smoking then. Simples.

A choice that funds a lot of things. Its the Hypocrisy off the whole thing i don't like.

Vote with your wallet, don't pay it.

Lol at saying he's raising cig prices because it's proven that it makes people quit . He doesn't give a crap about peoples health . It's all about the ££££s and taking advantage of people's addiction

If they wanted people to quit for the sake of their health they would outright ban them(tobacco companies have vaporisers and whatnot lined up ) or lower the prices of nicotine alternatives

Totaly agree. As a smoker i would love fags to be banned but too much ££ coming in to actually action.

I doubt it raises as much as you think from all of the NHS costs it takes in treating them.

 

[Hatter The Mad]

It's the way it's been for a long time - we pay much, much more in tax than we cost in healthcare

Recent research (which takes into account peripherally related illnesses, sick pay, reduced taxes) indicated that's not the case...

Looks like Labour have been royaly *****-slapped in this budget.

I'm actually starting to enjoy the Con-Dems..... and I don't even like Politics

to be fair, Brown did leave behind the biggest open goal in history and the fact they've still got half the ****wits who worked with him on their front bench speaks volumes.

The fact Ed Balls is in his current role having advised gordon brown into a key role in the global financial meltdown is just staggering. I find it baffling that anyone even pretends to be interested in anything he has to say.

 

[antijoke]

This is quite a brutal budget.

id never thought id say this, but milliband has a point on we are all in this together

 

[Glaucus]

God he's an idiot, millionairs pay less? What they wouldn't of been paying the 50p tax rate and the stamp duty and new regulations of tax avoidance say something a lot different.

id never thought id say this, but milliband has a point on we are all in this together

No he doesn't. He's a raving idiot.

we're all in it because of them!!!!

 

[Hatter The Mad]

Is Ed Miliband really arguing for the 50p tax rate despite what HMRC have found with the tax receipts...?

 

[iamtheoneneo]

oh here we go this should be funny, mr skinnypants and balls in your face to the rescue - not.

 

[Jay794]

Increase tax of fags by £5 and decrease fuel by 60p sounds like that will help the economy by £4.40 everytime a smoker buys a pack

Yep, pre planned speech and all they can do to try and hide behind their incompetence.

Here come the resident goofs

 

[Johnnytoxic]

I don't see how Labour can argue??? The country is in a mess and cuts need to happen.

What are there solutions? Borrow more?

 

[McBain]

Miliband annoys me, for the pure reason he has a lisp and looks like a goon.

 

[RDM]

Recent research (which takes into account peripherally related illnesses, sick pay, reduced taxes) indicated that's not the case...

Does that research take in to account that smokers tend to die younger and so therefore cost us less in the long run on pensions and age related health care?
