Everything has to be paid for



Budget latest: Reeves defends tax rises as 'everything has to be paid for'; Hunt to step down from shadow cabinet

Oh come on Rachel - not at any price you obfuscating nincompoop.

Never, in the course of human finance, has so much money been pissed so far up the wall by so female a Chancellor.

That about sums it up, AKH … the word “incentive” is not in their vocabulary.

decnine - dim or evil is often the question, in her case it seems to be both.

James - that's right, "incentive" is too human for them, it messes up their inhuman outlook.

If you argue that the current Labour government operates from a standpoint of greed, malice and stupidity (as some pundits do) then why is anyone surprised at the connivings of the Chancellor?

DJ - I suppose nobody is surprised because the general outline of budget was made fairly clear beforehand. The greed, malice, stupidity standpoint is always problematic as associated behaviour overlaps so much.
