Anyone up for a Live LEFTIES Budget Thread?

[ImSoNotTelling]

I am installed on the sofa.

Thought it might be nice to do a Lefties revival thread to watch it unfold

Brace yourselves everybody...

And that's it?

So VAT
housing ben (that sounds like a nightmare)
frozen child ben and dosh for the queen
reassessing DLA

increases in e'er ni

and all those cuts
and of course the cider

I knew the Joker grin would appear. And there it was

I agree I'm so not telling - seems nowhere near what they claimed

He repulses me

I've had bad (karaoke) experiences with cider.

Go Harriet.

I've had to put the backyardigans on now. Watching HH on PC.

God it's nice to see a woman doing her stuff there.

What I find amazing is that Tories think it is OK to 'sacrifice' a bit of unemployment.

And then in the same breath, say they reward those who "choose to work"

I don't get it

There is detail to all of this isn't there

The devil will be in the detail

The war criminals front bench looks like a Muppets audition.

I live in Cheshire, near thankfully not in his constituency, and had to suffer the 20ft posters of cockhead everywhere. I nearly crashed a few times

Has Cameron been spending too much time on the trampoline in the garden? Or has he been spraytanning?

Harriet is good, isn't she?

Go Harriet

Go get Nick, ppppppllllllllllease

The Lib Dems are finished after this

From what I gleaned, it's teh housing benefit chakeup which is the big unexpected thing

He made some comments during that bit which I have no idea what he was driving at

Do the opposition have a copy of the budget in advance to prepare their response?

Why the hell didn't she stand? She's brilliant.

Ladyblahblah your comment has just made me splutter my tea all over the keyboard. PMSL - though not at the useless budget obviously.

Got to go into the garden, now, apparently.

Backyardigans appears to have lost its appeal.

Public sector salaries frozen. That will go down well. Not.

Barf @ Cameron and Danny Alexander poking each other and giggling.

Goooo Harriet!!!!!!!!!

I'm gonna smoke some lovely weed. You don't tax dat bruh!

I am still at the cider. If it is the age of austerity - why did he not just leave it? Cider is no essential.

Well, actually, I take that back, after suffering that hour of crap, he might just be right

Coolfonz pass the toke...stop hogging it

The cider tax was very unpopular in the West Country where it is manufactured. The previous government wanted to tax binge drinking with an outdated mode of teenagers drinking cider, but a lot of people drink it.
