2009 Budget - why the delay?
Discussion
Budgets are for putting taxes up. However, they know that if they do that and anyone notices, there'll be a riot. Hence they'll lying low while figuring out a way to do it surreptitiously.
Hang on, there's 50p per unit of alcohol on its way - but that doesn't count because a doctor said it...

So they can sneak 2p onto a litre of fuel?
2p fuel duty comes into effect on 1st April. Not been much in the news about it though.
If the budget were March, then any duty increases would have to mention this one, PLUS the planned additions. Delaying the budget until after the increase means that it would appear there will be only a single increase in duty during this budget period.

guess they are trying to spin the budget knowing that if they increase taxes too much no-one will vote for them
No f
kers going to vote for them anyway!!If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that there's enough prejudices/stupid/selfish/easily-led people in this country of ours to make yet another term of Labour criminal mis-government a very realistic possibility.
Mandy appears to be hoping that the spin-off from G20, with Slackjaw and Obambi side by side, will give Winky an Obamabounce, allowing a summer general election. They'll want to get the preparation right, but at the moment it appears that the size and odour of the sh!thole the government have dug for us all is getting deeper and smellier by the hour, so HM Treasury data and forecasts are changing by the hour too - which apparently makes it difficult for Slugbrows' budget prep.
