As its the budget before a GE
Then Gideon will throw out a few crumbs to the stupid and poor to make them think he cares, (see £2000 for childcare) and to try and win a few votes. At the same time there will be cuts to business rates etc. for the city bumchums, that will go mostly under the radar in the tabloid press.

Alt... I don't like wearing ties so go for the option (that seems to be slated here) of decent suit and shirt with open collar

it's not the budget before a GE.
The next GE is May 2015.

The 2 grand for childcare is bollocks
It's tax relief on childcare costs up to 10 grand. Therefore, if you spend 10 grand on childcare, you can claim 2 grand back. The way it's being reported you'd think they were handing out 2 grand cash money.
I fucking hate the way stuff is reported in this country.
