The budget

[IDB1]

Well that's something..

 

[Mr Chicken]

This is the kind of sh*t a working class boy like myself has been voting against all his adult life.

We all know the Tories are scumbags,and now they are dragging that bunch of weak turncoats with them!


Tax the rich.

al.

the right and left, it's there to give you the illusion of a democracy (choice) the reality is they are just puppets who are controlled by a corporate elite who have total control over the mainstream media. The same agenda continues no matter who is in 'power'

The BBC and all the other mainstream stations job is to repeat their propaganda until they change the way you think.

[cchris2lou]

apparently I should be £125 better off , but the surely the increase in VAT will wipe this off ?

 

[FluffyChicken]

Oh new link, thought the income tax bit was iffy.
£400 better off (BBC and confused) from this emergency budget
though neither take in to account my sons DLA but don't think that will affect the increase

Of course VAT will eat away at it etc..

the telegraph seems fine if your single, no family etc though

 

[IDB1]

Unless they change the rules, DLA doesn't affect anything else - iirc.

 

[Neil G]

Cameron is a lying f**k

Played the inheritance tax card when it suited him to swing things in his favour and now where are the changes. Inheritance tax is one thing that really gets my goat, you spend your life on this planet working hard etc and then on checkout you don't even get the chance to try and make things better for the next generation.

Don't really care about rest, putting all my savings in house, mortgage and bills gone down and the sun is shining

To be fair the Conservatives dropped the inheritance tax pledge because of the Liberal Democrats. I'm sure had the Conservatives won an outright majority then the pledge would have stood. The problems of a coalition government is compromise, for better or worse.

I do agree with you though, inheritance tax needs to go!

 

[Neil G]

I understand they may have deviated slightly due to the coalition but surely it could have been addressed n some way or another.

As for child benefit couples that earn 40/50k a year or more shouldn't really be getting a penny from the state

Actually I've been doing them wrong and entering a car and it's actually talking about company cars (no chance of that!).

So it's now saying (BBC) £450 better off... this budget only gets better

DLA affects our Working Tax Credits and Child Tax Credits iirc.
It makes them go up.
