Generous!?
That's not generous! That means poorer police, poorer schools, hospitals and a under
funded army, pensioners that can't afford to stay warm, etc, etc unless they make up
the difference elsewhere.

Keeping fuel tax lower gives us cheaper fuel, but takes away the things that really
matter.

If they think they can get my vote that way they have another thing coming.

The Govt have already had a significant windfall from the increased VAT and North Sea tax revenues against the rising oil prices. And so little of that is going back into transportation, public transport, and roads. And the Govt are only likely delaying an increase at the present.

Waffle, waffle and more waffle from Mr Darling. Yes his surname is darling, for the benefit of the rest of the world.

Road pricing scheme coming in next year, the motorist hit again. The 2p rise in fuel has been put back to October. Note this will not stop the petrol cartel putting up the cost of oil.

And more Green Tax looks likely as Labour sets out to save the world from green house gases and global warming. What a load of BS, as if they could.

Good news for pensions a rise in winter fuel allowance which will be wiped out by council tax rise.


STEEDS VERDICT

BULLCRAP AND LIES

We are in the shat and Labour knows it.
Fiddle while England goes down the tubes.

Big Dave Cameron is ripping in to Labours lies and deceit.

Bloody Hell I may vote Conservative if he keeps this up.

Oil price will go up anyway. Cheap oil is very much over.

The UK is way behind on their commitments, same as many EU countries.

That's costing the fuel companies an estimated 1bn pounds. I'm suprised Darling had the clout to do it.

Haven't seen the budget yet, will post later.

I must admit to feeling a tad sorry for Mr Darling (can you imagine being burdoned with that chestnut of a name all your life..........his parents either loathed having him from birth, or were a right pair of comediens with a fantastic sense of humour)

Talk about the organ grinder sending the monkey to do the work. :p

MAKE NO MISTAKE.....this budget was written by Gordon Brown.

As per usual, every new chancellor picks up the reigns left by the previous one.

We all know who the previous one was!!!!

Mr. Darling must have felt totally humiliated and undermined during the whole budget presentation.

Once more, England suffer at the hands of a Scottish person of questionnable sanity

Even STEEDS mate was slightly more pallatable
