    Indeed.


    Corbyn seems to have got some decent coverage for a change. Online anyway.

    Gorgie Porgie wants us all to put our money in a lifetime ISA which will be handy when in a few years time the state pension will be worth f*ck all as announced in the Budget http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-30777166 . It all sounds well and good putting money into savings but the interest rates are shyte at the moment, you'd be better off with Premium Bonds.

    The flids and the mongs are going to lose out again, saw that coming a mile off.

    The odd Dr Pepper I am occasionally fond of will cost a bit more but I don't like too many full sugar fizzy dinks so the new levy won't be a problem.

    Other than that the Budget looked like the Toffs were bricking it over how everyone else's economies were doing. Amazing how they can't balance the books due to global issues out of their control but still blame austerity on Labour who went bust due to global issues beyond their control.

    How about those who don't do drugs or have kids ...

    A guess there's a large % in the uk that can take advantage

    Saving for a deposit , extra 25%

    Even ****s with kids , for they earn well, can take advantage ... To benefit their kids futures . Extra 25%

    Aye , it's a ****e idea right enough

    Free cash , **** that !

    Free money for people who've got money. Didn't see that one coming from the old true blues.

    In truth it's a few scraps for the middle classes to keep 'em running on that hamster wheel. Meanwhile, capital gains tax slashed, happy days for the asset rich Bullingdon set.

    The sugar tax is ****ed, it's just going to raise the price of normal foodstuffs unless they put loads of artificial sweeteners in it that give you cancer/bad aids.

    Osborne gave the ****s 2 years to sort it out too, so all the random revenue figures quoted are just bullshit <doh>
