Budget 2017
It's the proper budget today since they've moved it to the autumn.
Unless there is a surprise it looks like it will be underwhelming. May apparently kaboshed a plan to dramatically scale up housebuilding in the South East/London area because she's worried it will alienate the Tory voting base. A mistake I think because the last election showed that the lack of house ownership means they're not replacing voters as they get older. :erm: For the young it seems this 25-30 railcard is their idea which, again, is rubbish since it doesn't even apply at peaktimes and for season tickets. Fair enough for some long distance rail journeys outside peak hours, every little helps, but is rather minor. The government really has nothing to lose by being bold here, it's such a waste, like they're waiting to be chucked out. Might as well go for broke and doing something radical rather than a poxy railcard. It's just a zomble government. |

Budget?
oh, you mean that event where they hike the price of beer & tobacco, slash the price of caviar & sushi, and promise to spend 279 trillion zillion pounds of non existent money on a grand scheme to help 1% of the country :D:D |

Slap an environmental tax on bottled water. What comes out of the tap is perfectly good enough.

They took that away from the NHS to save money, so we drink warm water coming out of the tap instead. Monkeys that work for the NHS that fix this **** say leave the tap running for 5/10 mins it gets to temperature then.

It's a start I guess. I guess it probably doesn't cost too much to add a charging point somewhere.
