The Budget!

So what do we think? I suppose, in view of the carefully worked pre-publicity, there were no real suprises.

My only complaints are the protection of the NHS, where there is clear potential for cuts, but worse International Aid. How can we justify doling out aid abroad, when we are bust at home?

Some aid goes to countries whose third world status was long since left behind and whose own Governments should be aiding their poor and some to countries where the aid seldom reaches those for whom it is intended, due to corruption and inept administration.
