Try this out. With the council tax increase the wife and I are going to be hundreds (thankfully not many) worse off each month.

Well thank you, Gordo. You don't spend it on anything I want and you're taking more.

I am being hung out to dry year after year. Since Labour have been in power I have gradually become worse and worse off each year and seen NOTHING back at all.

Its got to the point that if a decent opportunity arose abroad I would serious consider it.

I do hope all those marginal voters who decided on labour are patting themselves on the back now...

Not a party of taxation my arse...

No difference to Tories 10 years ago . . when Tebbit said "Get on yer bike" I got on a plane - 4 years tax-free thank you very mooooch . . .

It could be worse . . . well . . maybe not!

IMO you're recklessly engangering your health reading about the budget.. unless you're a single parent pikey scumbucket who never did a day's honest work.. in which case, the budget must be like a once-a-year national lottery show where you always win..

If I was working in the UK (rather than Switzerland) I worked out that the wife and I would be 150 quid a month worse off after the budget (including NI increases) . Thank god neither of us smoke or drink !

If I can turn this 6 month contract to a perm job, then I will be dragging the wife over and staying here (currently paying 25% of income for tax, healthcare AND pension; public services are much better, especially transport).

I can't believe I voted for these t*ssers

Too right, mate. I also stupidly read "On The Road" today as well. Blood pressure is consequently at an all time high!
