Fairies Wear Boots Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I wonder which credit card he is going to whack it on, and when he'll cut the card up and pay it off. Somehow, methinks the british tax payer will just pay off the interest owing for quite a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chichi Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Oh dear. Vince Cable has just shot himself to pieces by saying that this is the wrong move. Yes Vince, despite the cost of fuel leaping and the government raking in billions extra in VAT. Tit. But this rubbish way of doing the budget by bringing in things in advance and then changing your mind is wrong. They should stick with what the decided before because it was a necesary financial decision back then - things aint got any better. When does the 10% tax rate disappear? Is that in time for Darling to get the blame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggle Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 The government is also considering using powers to bring down electricity and gas prices for poorer households with pre-paid meters, according to a government source.

sambino Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...mp;refer=europe Some interesting comments "Roger Bootle, chief economic adviser to Deloitte & Touche LLP in London, estimates that Darling would have to cut taxes by about 15 billion pounds a year to match the impact of President George W. Bush's $168 billion package of tax rebates and incentives. The U.K. has moved more slowly than other European countries to curb its budget deficit. The shortfall has breached the European Union limit of 3 percent of GDP in three of the past five years, and will reach the threshold again this year, the European Commission said in November. That compares with deficits of 2.6 percent in France and 0.1 percent in Germany. ``Heading into an economic slowdown or worse with a structural budget deficit approaching 3 percent of GDP is not where you want to be,'' said Geoffrey Dicks, chief U.K. economist at Royal Bank of Scotland Plc."
