Budget Day predictions ?

Post by Bruv »

I hear tell the Budget is due 18th March.

What will they tempt us with this time, taking into consideration the upcoming election?

It's likely to be tax cuts everywhere, increased investment in the NHS & other Emergency Services. More investment in Community Services, etc. What do you expect? There's an election coming up.

So it should be a good one so we will all vote Conservative?

Or will they play a double bluff ?

Saying they would want to reward us for our years of deprivation , but as they are the only honest option they will continue doing what is right for the country rather than for short term aim of re-election.........so let us all fight this together.

I bet a mixture of the 2..................any takers ?

Good point, but at the moment do you really think they would dare take the risk?

An honest Politician?

It's much like the old one of how you tell when a Politician is lying? Answer - his lips move.

They would............the stakes are high and well worth the gamble.

Pretty much as I predicted, with claims about what they're going to achieve over the next 10 years.

Claims of standard of living being at an all time high - with the number of food banks at an all time high.

And still, with all their shortcomings, they still blame everything on the previous Government.

Is it too late for me to make any predictions ?
