A Budget Hangover From Norman Lamont
THOSE post-Budget front-page headlines and what they reveal about the papers and their readers:
THE TIMES: “The hangover Budget”.
A picture of Alistair ‘Knut’ Darling carrying a bag (plastic?) of booze. Those eyebrows. That light grey hair. The absence of a visible receipt for his haul of drink. It’s Norman Lamont returned.
The story is underscored by the Times, er, offer: “Eat out for £10.”
THE INDEPEDENT:” MR DARLING AND HIS BOX OF TRICKS.”
The image is or Darling holding his red box up over his face. All that remains of him in view are a body and a tuft of white hair. Is that a rabbit? Or Knut?
Picture: Poldraw

Okay, so the economy is struggling and we all are feeling the pinch in our wallets, less disposable cincome due to rising gas and electricity costs, petrol prices, mortgage rates, council tax rises, etc…….. so what does Alistair Darling do? answer: hit us even harder! Brilliant, the man’s a genius.
And of course I hope nobody is forgetting to put aside more money for their retirement, vitally important you know….. really should have a personal pension plan…. oh yes…. except that Alistair just took even more money out of our pockets… errr…. I think I might see a flaw here…. but rest assured because I’m sure Alistair knows best.
What’s that? a cynic? me?

The pic of Darling holding the Red Box over his face suggests shame and embarassment
that he has to make people”s lives even more miserable.!!!!!!
Wednesday is out, what about Friday after the Stock Exchange has closed?
