*commences flaming*
the right things? Fucking hell, anyone doing primary school economics realises what a catatrophic fucking mess they are about to make of everything. George Osborne is about as qualified to advise on economics as I am on the uses of classical music in hippo breeding programmes.

He is the only chancellor in my memory to go against the advice of the treasury, which is effectively like walking in to a dark room full of deadly traps with a map and night vision goggles and going "fuck it, eh, let's just run across with our eyes closed"

There is no way on earth the private sector can replace the 500,000 public sector jobs allegedly being cut. Mainly because they'll be too busy losing another million or so of their own as soon as they realise public sector contracts keep a fuck of a lot of companies afloat.

This country is being pissed into a cocked hat. I'm just trying to work out whether there's enough time left to at least have my kids born here before I have to go to Aus or NZ.

*ends flaming* hope Huckerby doesn't score against you, though.
