Darling prepares for first Budget

[Nick]

I did indeed. Perhaps he is a mass murderer

Of the old and infirm, yes… 

 

[Barman]

Headline news is that he’ll spare the motorist and not apply the 2p/litre fuel surcharge – what a nice man! 

The stupid bastards don’t mention that he is raking it in from VAT and Duty on record fuel prices!

[Snoopy]

I think they should change the format of the Budget Speech .... Pep it up a bit and get celebs to come on, each with an envelope which they will open and declare "In the Windfall Tax Category ..... And the winner is THE GOVERNMENT ~ hard luck Joe Public ..... maybe next year" and the next could be "In the Tax on Booze Category .... And the winner is THE TREASURY .... hard luck Joe Public..... maybe next year" and so on whilst all the Ministers sit around tables getting pissed and congratulating one another on another year of getting away with it.

I mean if you thought John Major was bland this b@st@rd has him beaten all hands down for grey blandness.

[Nick]

Excellent

What time is kick off anyway?

Dunno ..... usually 'bout three isn't it?




Or does it follow PMQs?

'Spose I'll just have to keep the telly on the Parliament Channel from midday.

That'll annoy my two invalids. We have coughs, colds AND The Vomit today.

[Nick]

Not.........















The Vomit


Very nasty.

As our TV is in a box I will have to listen or watch it on the PC

Can't you unbox it while The Boy is at school? 

[Nick]

Too much faff. Too big. Too many wires

[Grumpmeister]

Plus you'd probably find the boy has a built in TV alarm so he'd know the second it was switched back on again.

PMQs at twelve - the budget follows at half past...

[Snoopy]

[Barman]

I can hardly wait to listen to it on the wireless...
