Besides you can see the economy is still rather concerning around the world. Asia has been really turbulent, the US fears a recession, Europe continues to muddle along between recession or flatlining growth.

This isn't all about Britain and the EU.

I agree he shouldn't cut disability benefit in order to fund a tax cut but we are talking about the 40p tax band which kicks in around £42,000. Hardly 'rich'.

Still I do wonder how he can continue to justify cutting more and more of disability benefit. He had public support for job seekers allowance, child benefit and so on but going after people who are disabled is pretty risky and inhumane. This benefit is a budget which allows a greater degree of personal liberty from what i understand, i.e money to account for the additional costs facing disabled people such as taxi fares instead of buses, so why bother cutting that?
What I mean is he's not touching the richest therefore in effect giving them more while we get less. I'd love to go out to work but that's looking less and less likely as I'm finding it harder to walk these days and my eyesight is getting worse. Who is going to employ a 62 year old blind cripple. Damned Arthritis should be banned lol.
