Default pre-budget statement

This is looming and I think Gordon Brown will be forced to make a real decision about the retrospective nature of the car tax shambles.

A personal opinion is that it will be political suicide for labour if they press on with the re-banding; to increase tax on over half of the motoring public under a false guise of green issues when your party is twenty points behind and the gas/electric bills are going skyward is madness. But when was the last time a politician took any notice of us? Given that the tories have also (at last) got hold of this as a topic; do they really have the *****?

If I could post a poll it would have been: yes they will go through with it or no they would not dare.

I hate to say this.


These people don't live in the real world.

On Radio recently, there was a question put out on air, for people to ring in and say, who worked furthest away from their HQ.

It was on air for an hour and, it started off, man in Inverness, working from a laptop, his HQ was London, and so on.

It got to Germany, London HQ, then, it loked asthough a bloke from New Zealand whose HQ was London, had won.

THENNNNN>>>>>>> Someone said that Gordon Brown was the most remote worker who worked furthest away from his HQ.

Cos he lived on another PLANET!!!

That about sums it up.


Regards
