My thoughts entirely, PPH

Re: Irony

They are showing us minions what its like to eat.

Re: Irony

I'm so glad they're warning us how hard they're going to make it for us... oops - I meant how we've all got to tighten our belts...

Re: Irony

What on earth is a tool of a Macro Prudential Regulator and what is a macro prudential regulator anyway - was Osborne eating it at his banquet - he was talking of crunches. I'm confused

Re: Irony

They like to confuse you then they can say - well we told you. Plain English please

Re: Irony

We had the same pre- budget mutterings over here earlier in the year PPH, and it all boils down to one thing, you are going to pay for the mess we got you into.

Re: Irony

you are right there - bl**dy politicians and bankers. They only seem to want to make rich people richer.

I still don't know who loans people hundreds of billions of pounds

Re: Irony

I've heard lots of mutterings about people with children cutting benefits, school bus passes being means tested and income supplement being stopped. I dread it when it comes to us, a lot of pensioners are already on the lowest income, starvation levels here we come.
