Iain says at 9.22 am…. And as always with a Labour budget. Don’t rush to judgement on it immediately.
Iain says at 1.47pm…. I have rarely been so angry after a budget speech. I’m fizzing. This was a cheap budget delivered in a manner unworthy of a man with the title of Chancellor of the Exchequer.
You really couldn’t make him up could you. The man’s a comic genius.

Have you seen this instant comedy classic yet?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1s5AsSawUw
Not sure if that high-pitched sound is Iain’s dog-whistle or his soundman’s hearing aid feeding back.
SPEAK UP IAIN!
He’s not having much luck with helicopters either: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1s5AsSawUw
Talking of Littlejohn’s catchphrase:
“It’s always best to give it a couple of days before rushing to judgment. ”
Then, next paragraph:
“All you need to know about Alistair Darling’s Budget tomorrow is that every single one of us is going to be much, much worse off for a very long time to come. ”
Cue lots of Mailites leaving the country to avoid the 50% tax they don’t qualify for.
Dale’s in good company.
If it annoys that plonker Dale it must be a plus for civilisation.
Was it just me having a prescient hallucination or was Yosser Dale really wearing a t-shirt that said:
“Gi’s a job, I can do dat! I can be a factually-challenged reporter on Faux News, Mr. Murdoch!”
I quite agree. The budget was easily the best one for a generation. We are now massively richer; poverty has been wiped out overnight. Fourteen million jobs have been created in the last week, a hundred million council houses were built on the same day as the budget, house prices doubled, beer now costs a penny a gallon and Alistair Darling will be delivering budget speeches with the skills of an Athenian orator for decades to come. And Mrs. Thatcher was responsible for the credit crunch and recession.
