I watched the budget today.

The Chancellor seemed to keep cutting taxes mostly.

Usually a Chancellor says "Now I turn to personal taxation" and I was thinking that with all these cuts and the costs of the pandemic that there would be tax increases to pay for it all, possibly quite reasonably in the circumstance of the pandemic as the money needs to be recovered from somewhere.

But no! Suddenly he commended it to The House and sat down.

Did I miss something?

I don’t think anyone has suggested that the budget is beyond reproach growstuff, but so many people are content to grumble rather than saying ‘He could have done X, which would have helped Y’. As I said, moaning is easy but putting forward constructive suggestions less so.

PippaZ perhaps you would care to ask Gabrielle why she made such atrocious accusations of basically all ‘priviledged’ [sic] people, of whom I am probably one but guilty of any of her charges I am not, neither did my son use my contacts or ‘snort his way’ to the professional status he has attained. What she said is pretty foul.

I agree, dreadful stereotyping, reeks of envy.

I don’t understand what is the poster envious of?
