Is that it?

I can't say it any more succinctly than this (from the bottom of the comments):

So in essence: fags up, petrol up, drink up, national insurance up (next year) but VAT down for 13 months.

That's it?

Fucking Whoopee.


This wasn't a fiscal stimulus. This was a fisting.

'twas a fisting right enough. If we're really lucky he'll apply the lubricant once the now shallower recession is over.

He really thinks that cutting 2.5% off VAT won't be more than swallowed up by the increased cost of petrol, fags and booze, and increased NI?

Where's the extra money for us all to spend in his vision of fiscal stimulus? Seems to me most people will have less.

As usual.

We have been fucked yet again without even being kissed. I really hate this government of unmittigated twats.
