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.
But, Granny Gravy and Germanshepherdsmum, it is obvious this anger is being voiced to veer off the conversation away from any criticism of this budget. This is yet another attempt to goad others to take a thread off-topic. We have seen it so often it really is very easy to recognise.
Where is your argument that this budget does some good? You simply don't seem to have one. On the other hand, I have yet to see an expert - even those who are supposed to be taking the right-wing Tory viewpoint - who has anything good to say for it.
How can the largest tax take in 30 years, almost entirely from the poor or not very well off - of course done by the most right-wing of Tory governments - create the "New Age of Optimism" Sunak declared. It was probably meant to seem audacious but it just treats the public as if they have no intelligence. You will not find many who agree with you except those who would agree if Sunak or Johnson told the pigs were flying overhead.
