The budget-bleeding me dry!
« on: March 21, 2012, 01:25:20 pm »
Well it's that time of year again when the Chancellor turns me upside down, shacks like mad and makes whats left of my wages fall from my pockets!!!
Petrol going up 3p in August. V Power going to cost another couple of quid per tank!! If only I was rich I would no doubt be able to pay a top accountant to save me a shed load of cash. The bloody SUPER RICH tax band has gone down to 45%  :fighting:
Oh well at least I gave up smoking last year, gone up 37p a packet!  :laugh:

Petrol isn't going up? The 3p increase in duty will still go ahead in August, but no other rises have been mentioned, certainly not 3%.

Was just going to ask where the 3% came from :confused:

Fuel duty has already been cut by £4.5bn and there will be no increase was what GO said

.... Just don't worry about it, whatever increases they decide we will have to pay.

No point in moaning really, I realised that a while back.

Even if they don't directly put the price up it will increase anyway.

Notice how V-Power is 5p/litre dearer than it was 2 months ago.  :sad1:

Petrol going up 3%, about 5p for my Shell V Power. Another couple of quid per tank!! If only I was rich I would no doubt be able to pay a top accountant to save me a shed load of cash. The bloody SUPER RICH tax band has gone down to 45%  :fighting:
Oh well at least I gave up smoking last year, gone up 37p a packet!  :laugh:
 

Haha just thinking the same thing even though I only gave up on Sunday :laugh:

Article said: In 1997 Labour inherited a budget that was actually in balance. After a painful and turbulent decade under the Tories, the public finances had finally been brought under control. But after four years in office Gordon Brown took out the country's credit card and let rip. By the end of 2009-10 our annual deficit had ballooned to £170.8 billion.



Interesting article that quote I pulled from it sums up the mess, you can't just blame the bankers as our spending was out of control and unsustainable before the crash.

Nothing will change though, give it another 5 years of pain and we may get close to balancing the books, then labour will get voted in and within another 5 years we will be back to spiralling debt...

....To think that when George was born his parents Sir Peter and lady Felicity very proudly invited me to their London house to see the new born. But no! I would not have turned upside down etc!

I think he has done well in the circumstances. For those who pay tax *cough* they will apparently be about £200 a year better off because of the tax threshold being raised. Of course the leftwingers will ignore that and also focus on Corporation Tax threshold being also raised - something which is good for business and in turn of benefit to all.

Just don't look at the cost, and then do a 0-60 run as soon as you leave the garage to validate the expenditure  :signLOL:
