I expect the Guardianistas will be frothing at the mouth and labelling it as a budget for the rich, which attacks the poor, before anything has even been announced.
With the economy still moving in the right direction, I doubt there will be any drastic moves. A slight raise of tax thresholds and a slight lowering of over the top benefits caps, like housing. A couple of pence on fags, maybe a tiny bit on booze etc.. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

Some pretty sensible stuff so far by the sound of it (unless of course, you hate anything just because it's Tory).
A living wage to be introduced of £7.20 ph for over 25's by April 2016, up to £9 ph by 2020.
Tax allowance to be raised to £11,000 pa, along with the living wage, will make the poorest workers a fair bit better off after tax.
Higher earners in social housing to pay market value rent. (Should p1ss off a few union bosses!)
18-21 year olds will not be automatically able to claim housing benefit and child and tax credits limited to first 2 children, should slow the increase in the "no intention of ever working class".
Working age benefits to be frozen for 4 years. Don't like it? Working is now becoming more appealing... get a job in the next 4 years.
No fuel duty increases, no mention of fags or booze.
New VED brackets will mean 95% of car drivers will pay £140 a year.
Corporation tax coming down to 19% in 2017 and 18% in 2020, bringing us a bit nearer to the Irish tax haven on 12.5%. £750M more given to HMRC to tackle tax evasion and avoidance, hoped to raise £7.2B.
A million more jobs predicted to be created by 2020. Increase in small firms National Security allowances. Aimed to get people off benefits and back to work.
NHS budget up by another £8B by 2020, on top of the recent £2B announcement.
Sounds OK to me. Any lefties got an opposing view? ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/jul/07/benefit-cuts-blackburn-child-working-tax-credits
The baaaaawwwing has started in advance over at the Guardian already too, what a surprise.
These folk could instead just demonstrate a little bit of evolution and try having intercourse without
conceiving. Contraception has been provided free for donkeys years in the UK, but oddly it's not as popular
as the free money given out to those using their vaginas as cashpoints.
It's VERY reliable, 14 years with my Mrs, (We decided long ago kids weren't for us,) and not so much as
a scare in well over a decade. If you don't want/can't afford kids it's very easy to NOT have them. I'm glad the gravy train
has been derailed by common sense. Just think how much overtime these people could put in if they
didn't have kids to worry about. It's about time something was done to discourage people for breeding for £££s.
On topic, I watched a story on 'The Met - Policing London' last night about an 18 year old somali girl, married off at 13
(in accordance with her medieval religion of peace and just a smattering of child abuse and genital mutilation) to (surprise surprise) a violent and controlling
husband. Eventually after 'escaping' back to the UK she and her 3 kids (at 18 ) were put in a decent (free)
flat in a decent, clean well lit block, the flat had obviously not long been renovated and she was given
all the help she could have possibly wished for from the UK taxpayer to bring those kids up in considerably
better conditions than she could 'back home'. Including free unlimited health care for her and them.
Unfortunately (for her baby) she was too busy on Facebook chatting up some other inbred bucktoothed
skinny pirate to feed her baby, which was SCREAMING through hunger in the background.
Too busy on Facebook to clean the (free) flat up and wash some dishes despite having unlimited time
to do so, instead preferring to spend that time online looking for male attention (You could argue this is
what got her into this mess but Muslim so what do you expect). Her two slightly more mobile toddlers
had managed to scavenge some scraps from round the house and were literally eating from the huge amount
of rubbish left on the floor around the place. Somehow negotiating the maze of insects, rotten food, broken glass
and dirty nappies also strewn all over the floor. Then when she noticed (wifi downtime?) her clearly emaciated
baby had snuffed it, (It was so bad that the guy conducting the PM was in (real) tears) she then made
the obligatory 'Someone please help my precious baby is dead' call with all the necessary tears and 'confused' shouting.
The full oscar winning 'DSS immigrant victim' routine employed in full effect as had doubtless been done numerous times
before. On a side note, I'd bet that poor baby had been laying dead for a day or two before the 999 call
was made. After she first consulted community elders about how best to proceed (read get away with it)
because to them Gods law>mans law. My sister has loads of Somalis on her patch and this approach is
very common before reporting anything to the Police, they have to try and get a conviction with partial
statements littered with lies, faux 'forgetfulness' and conveniently missing physical evidence.
SHE killed that baby through neglect and her only penalty was she got her other two kids taken from her
(saved their lives by doing that) and she laughably got a 2 year suspended sentence(because of cultural sensitivities no doubt).
She's probably already pregnant again.
It's about time they cracked down on this, there's no point keeping the birthrate up if it's only the dossers/invaders doing it.
In real life, that just breeds more future claimants despite what certain societal quarters would
attempt to have you believe... It would make MORE financial sense to reward people for NOT breeding. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

That's because without the shareholders investing/risking huge sums of money to keep companies afloat, there would
be no employees. If I'd sunk millions into a firm like for instance Greggs then I'd expect a massively better return
than the 2 GCSEs barely literate drongo loading frozen pre made pasties into an oven gets. And if I didn't get it I'd take my
millions somewhere else where I would get that return. It's the principal reason people buy up large portfolios
of shares, to make money. But shares are available to anyone with minimal amounts of money, even
the 2 GCSEs drongo could put some cash back into the firm that supports him.
Let's not forget, the guy with 10 million quid tied up in a firm may lose everything if the firm hits
bad times, the shelf stacker would lose their 'crap' job and a small income. Both considerably easier
to replace than 10 million quid is.
I'd even bet Greggs, like many big companies has a share scheme too, voluntary or otherwise. If you don't
take advantage while it's on offer, that's your lookout. Most big organisations encourage staff
on the lower rungs to have a stake in the company that employs them, it's simple good business sense.
There's a difference between being excluded from share ownership and opting out because you'd rather
spend your money on other things.
You reap what you sow, I still have shares in Stagecoach from 20 years ago when I worked there.
They gave me some each year as an employee benefit, and I topped them up as I got a better rate than
Joe Public buying more. If I sold them tomorrow, I'd make a few quid, but they are worth more to me
as an asset so I leave them be. Pretty canny for a 21 year old at the time but still it's a nice little nest egg
to cash in one day. Bottom line is I only drove the buses, someone else paid for them, so of course they
should get a greater reward. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha
