Default Amusing article in the Torygraph...

Maybe it's just me, but I thought this was quite amusing.

I have to admit to being incredibly cynical about this year's budget. It's clear that whatever is announced will be changed immediately after the election, whichever party wins. Not exactly a recipe for confidence in our politicians.

Hard to argue with though, isn't it?

Only one bit wrong:
" Our Government has contrived to drag the United Kingdom through the deepest recession in history "
Doesn't he mean into ?

The Tories tried that a couple of months ago and their ratings went down. So they've reverted to the same old bull***t as before.

Can't be honest or the voters won't vote for you! Personally, I would vote for whoever slashes spending and hikes taxes because we really need to sort out the debt FAST, but nobody is going to say they will do that because Joe Public won't vote for them cos they don't have the slightest idea what is good for this nation and still want to be able to afford an even bigger TV.
