A 'FUDGE IT' BUDGET.

So! Our juggling Chancellor's forecast for 2012 is a growth figure of 3.5%, this would be the first time since 1997 that the national economy has performed at that level. The reader will no doubt be aware that the economy of that year was set in motion by the outgoing Conservative Government; since then it has all been downhill.

We had the usual 'robbing Peter to pay Paul', dressed up in class differences; better described as those that bother and those that wish to remain on 'the take'. The strange aspect of this is that the governing class and senior public servants form a large part of the 'haves'; they can of course vote themselves perks as required, it won't change; particularly if the Labour regime is returned.

We have touched on the subject of economies, be they national or domestic, in the past. There is absolutely no difference in how they are tackled; sacrifices have to be made. The present Government talks about halving the annual deficit within four or five years, that leaves us with a national deficit at twice today's figure. This fact then becomes somebody else's concern, taxpayer GB's. The Ministers currently making all these discredited decisions will have moved on to pastures new, living off inflation proof pensions, and cosy numbers through their favours during their term in office.

Finally, while making these fairytale budgetary revelations, there is never a word regarding a contingency fund to cover Brussels' frequent additional requirements, which are considerable.



IT'S TIME TO CONSIDER OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE EU.
