So, we've had the Budget delivered today.
For what it's worth, I think it's a very tough budget. Good to see that alcohol, fuel and cigarette duty will not go up, so that we can at least get so drunk that we can forget that bad points of the budget. VAT was always bound to go up, unfortunately. I just hope the government remember to put it back to 17.5% when the deficit is reduced :roll: .
As for the public sector pay freeze, I don't know what previous years pay rises are, so can't comment on the fairness of it...
Good to see that the Income Tax Personal Allowance is going up by £1,000.
Is a benefit cut for the disabled fair though?
Any opinions at all?
