[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

For the first time in a long time a Conservative Govt. is acting like a Conservative Government.
Kwasi,s fiscal statement was straight from the Reagan book on economics.
Cut taxes and promote growth in the economy. No-one has been brave enough to take this gamble for a very long time.
I hope it works. 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Well it's got the leftwaffe foaming at the mouth so it must be good!   

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

It certainly has. 

[Lizzie Zoom]

From what I, even as a Conservative, sees is a 'mini' budget that just helps the rich more than helping the poor.

That is how the populous living on the fear of not being able to pay their bills are going to receive it.

But time will tell.

The BBC and Sky were straight up to northern towns to see how it went down. Sky was in Wakefield ffs. Unusually, they interviewed two city centre business owners, rather than some slapper with five kids to different fathers. One of them, the owner of Frank Bird, said that if the government didn't continue the help it was giving for more than six month, the town centre would die. I was there on Wednesday. Me and two others

We went to Peterborough Queensgate shopping precinct a few weeks ago hadn't been for about 3 years a lot of the big name shops no longer exist & several smaller than units are completely empty . A few new names but selling utter rubbish why anyone would risk starting a business now is beyond comprehension.

You won't be very happy when pensions and benefits go up by c10% next month.

Indeed, I would not start a retail bricks and mortar operation now.  The public have decided, no one else,  that they only need the big supermarkets, a scattering of other outlets, with them usually shopping on line for everything else.

Around Ashford I regularly see 3 or 4 Amazon Prime vans delivering daily.  That tells it's own story!

I suspect we will have changes to those in the not too distant future. 
Not much excuse for not having some kind of job these days. Employers are crying out for workers, all over the country.
And as for pensioners - my MIL who is one of those poor struggling pensioners and spends between £60 - £100 a week on lottery tickets ffs.

The new Conservative government's solution is Reaganomics. A theory whose success depends on a senile leader so wooden they act like they had a telegraph pole shoved up their arse before they got the job.


So there is a tiny chance that a couple of citizens who aren't already millionaires might benefit.

No one will lose, unless you know different.

Is she Spanish?  The Spanish spend big time  on lotteries

Someone did the maths and found that an "average earner" could be £400 a year better off  , a higher earner could be up to £5k better off , go away poor people

As a percentage of earnings, that seems fair to me. And, after all, we don't want poor people getting rich, because then they'd be despised by people who are envious.

I would quote the lyrics to I've got mine, but the whole attitude can be summed up by opps you, I'm OK.


Conservatives don't want too many people climbing the pyramid, because they're afraid they'll be the one with the point up their arse.
