We dont need tax increases to pay for more cops..NHS or prisons
If the government would just stop wasting Billions of pounds on things the people dont want.
NHS super computer around £20 BILLION...ID database and cards..another umpteen billion.
These are things people dont want so why waste the money on them.
£8.5 billion to educate children in other countries...what about the kids in THIS country..?

Loads of political spin. There was a time when the Budget Speech contained useful information and was required listening for any tax professional. Now it is just a very long Party Political Broadcast. In recent years, even the press releases have become less illuminating. The Finance Bill is becoming less relevant each year and the governemtn is facing less and less scrutiny. How much longer will the British electorate accept this? I am so glad I emigrated. Four years under Bliar was quite enough.

as quickly as I first began using - approximately 5 years in the past, i offered a Corsa. That became into extremely roomy, particularly nippy, competitively priced and decrease priced tochronic. Plus the coverage isn't sky severe. yet another factor to take under consideration is that in case you have not drove for some years, you pick to purchase something which you does not techniques getting some bump and grinds on!! Bloody parallel parking!!

Not nearly enough increase on taxes. Lets have more so that we can have the services that we need in UK. A health service that works, good pensions, good police, courts and prisons. It all needs doing and we - the people - have to pay.

Gorgon Brown will, however, wimp out.

It was all said in the pre budget report, so what's the point of a Budget?

Probably to be bled dry even further, knowing this lot.

Here's what The Motley Fool (leading finance website) has to say about it:
