NHS get an extra 8bn and the armed forces only get a piffling 400m!!!!
That is going to go along way isn't it! what does that equate to 4 new fighter jets or a 200 new tanks!! what about decent vehicles, clothing, personal weapons, protection, webbing, summat to stop the yanks shooting our troops etc the list goes on.

Come on, do me a favour ................. £43k is chicken feed for Subaru Impreza Owners - surely to god! 
But, ok, maybe a few are on less than £40k but not many I would hazard a guess?
I mean, ScoobyNet is Tory - you are Labour if you are on poor wages!!! So, how does that sit then??

the 20% Base rate is a complete red herring - It means nothing. Because he has scrapped the 10% rate to £7200, any benefit is wiped out - Its a complete smokescreen.
I just worked out the difference between the current tax regieme and the 2008 change to 20% and no 10% rate.
I will be better of by £6....
... A year.

Also he's changed the banding limits for National Insuarance to bring it in to line with Income tax. So you might pay a bit less income tax, but your NI bill will just increase instead.
National Insurance now is just really a second level of Income tax.

When was he ever going to do anything other than give a sound bite of a tax cut to be sellable to the dense masses. It wont work though as it is becoming even more clear that he is as untrustworthy as the original Bliar himself.
I hope the lybour party vote Grodon in cos that way we stand a chance of getting away from the utter waste of OUR money that they are.
ps - anyone that doesnt vote does not have the right to moan so unless you ticked a box at the last general election which I suspect half of you didnt - you have no voice.
