Here we are again. Another budget day. Millions of words will be written and spoken by vacuous�journalists as they try to create news out of thin air. Does it really matter if, say the average family of four is��3.25 a week or whatever better off after the budget? I mean what’s �3.25 going to buy? Not a lot.
If Osborne had brains and balls and a spine, he would take some radical action – put all Whitehall departments on a four-day week; scrap the worthless Equality and Human Rights Commission; get rid of the sycophants at the laughable Office for Budget Responsibility; set a maximum public-sector pension�of average salary (�25,000 a year); scrap Corporation Tax completely replacing it with retention of some VAT; set a maximum public-sector salary of �100,000 a year. Oh to have a chancellor who had some ideas rather than one who surrounds himself with arselicking nodding dogs as advisers.
