Re: Where is the fight back?
The 'emergency' budget presents a different approach to a problem and there are actually some very sensible cuts being made but the rise in VAT is something of a mistake, in my opinion.
There should have been a bigger levy on the banks (which is what they were calling for when in opposition) and the benefits system is still open to abuse. Radical reforms are called for rather than simply cuts.
My first action if I ever become Grand Overlord of the Whole Universe would be a nationalised bank, amalgamated with the Post Office, to solve a swathe of problems in one fell swoop.
