George Osborne is going to present his Budget tomorrow. I expect he will try and blind us with a lot of fancy rubbish about how his parties measures are going to generate this and that.
In reality it will be another screw of the mincer. 
Ah Titanics first officer will rearrange the deck chairs, the band is still playing in first class, the locks are being turned in steerage, the ship is on course and allâs wellâŚfull speed ahead Number One.

The difference is in this case is that the band were all made redundant before the ship sailed to save money to help pay for the larger lifeboats to provide the first class passengers with more room.

Not so far from the truth either⌠
He wants to reduce the defecit, but does not realise that there are limited ways in which to do this:
(1) Increase the number of workers that pay tax (heâs laying off public sector workers by the thousand though)
(2) Increase the pay of those workers whoâll not be losing their jobs (he has for the top dogs, but thereâs not enough of them to increase the tax take!)
(3) Increase taxes for the Rich (he wonât go there at all)
(4) Increase taxes for the poor (heâs tried that, but theyâve since lost their jobs, or fallen out of taxation altogether - so that didnât work!)
(5) Lay the rest of the public services off, in which case would the last person out switch out the lights. We canât afford to carry on paying the French for THAT either.
I blame it all on NIMBY Tory voters who still think Cameron is cool, and Osbourne knows what heâs doing.
He might, and he might, but it isnât working regardless.
When a component is duff, you rip it out, throw it away, and replace it with a shiny new one that is known to work already.
âŚNow where did we leave all those spare components?

Brilliant analogy and very true.
Belt tightening time methinks. All except âFirst Classâ that is. Now weâll see if we are âAll in this togetherâ.
When will the people of this great country wake up to whatâs being done to them? 
From Wikipedia:
He was given a demyship to Magdalen College, University of Oxford[2] where he received a 2:1 bachelorâs degree in Modern History.[7] At Oxford he edited the universityâs Isis magazine,[11] and was a member of the Bullingdon Club.[11] He also attended Davidson College in North Carolina for a semester as a Dean Rusk Scholar.[12]
After graduating in 1992, Osborne did a few part-time jobs including as a data entry clerk, typing the details of recently deceased into a NHS computer database.[13] He also briefly worked for a week at Selfridges, mainly re-folding towels.[13]
In 1993, Osborne originally intended to pursue a career in journalism. He was shortlisted for but failed to gain a place on The Times trainee scheme, and instead did freelance work on the Peterborough diary column of The Daily Telegraph. Some time later, an Oxford friend of his, journalist George Bridges, alerted Osborne to a research vacancy at Conservative Central Office.[13]
So George Osborne got a middling degree in Modern History from Oxford, inputted some data onto a computer and folded some towels for a week. He then failed to get a job at the Times, and instead worked on a column for the Telegraph.
He then went to work for the Conservative party
In 2012 he spent ÂŁ694.89 BILLION of taxpayers money. Itâs quite incredible really that a man with no economic qualifications is in charge of such a vast sum of money.
Itâs no wonder we are in such a mess.

Still wonder WHERE from, those ÂŁ1m euros came from, I know it was from our country but just who from?
Us, the tax payer? (again)â â ?
I donât think many politicians now days have any real life experince.
Most leave university and become political researchers until a nice safe seat comes up.
Listening to the budget at the mo and while gorgeous george is not the smartest tool in the box he sounds like an intelect when compared with ed wallace & grommit milliband
Ino times are hard but Iâd rather have the current government in after all they are sorting out labours mess albeit its taking longer then expected !

Simplest explanation. The moneyâŚor more correctly debtâŚis issued by the private âBankstersâ. eg Bank of England, Rothschildâs Banks, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Lehman Bros.
HTH.
