How badly George Osborne has got it wrong.

I bet in the coming days Labour are blamed for the Tories incompetence, FFS they've had 4.5 years to sort it.

I live near a river and some my mates live in Wraysbury. They waited weeks for help, in the floods of last year.
If the floods were on the MPs doorstep, they would have been protected within hours.

It just makes me angry that this is too late. And after watching the news, and what those residents said. It's just an election ploy to get votes.
The river by me came up, and you could have pushed a boat up my road.

It's about time they put money into words and action. Where will this money come from - yes, they will hit welfare again, they have said this in the news

Your absolutely right Hugh cant choose your parents, but you can choose who benefits from you being in office and you can choose to be consistent on a pound being a pound as there seems to be a different value when your giving tax breaks to the class you come from then when your exaggerating a fraud that doesn't exist ie welfare as opposed to the great tax fraud costing the country between 40 to 120 billion pounds a year pending on whose assessment you take as accurate. This coalition has banged on about its economic prowess for the last couple of years and most of it has been hot air with little substance behind it.

Would labour have done better highly doubtful sadly there are zero to few credible politicians out there who know how to do what's best for the country and ordinary people rather then their friends and vested interests.

I'm looking forward to this year's "I'm just an ordinary bloke" effort from George, with a picture of him with the budget in one hand and a joint in the other, feet up on an 18 year old Romanian prostitute while watching Top Gear.

If the River Crane were flooding heavily given that it's a tributary of the Thames big swathes of London would be in real trouble.

I'm not surprised.

When you look at Osborne. he just looks like he's the little brother of a friend of Daves. and Dave said here you are mate. you can do this job.

and Osborne once in the job is out of his depth. and Dave and his mates are still laughing when he comes in the room with his naughty school boy puppy dog eyes, saying can somebody help me with some sums?

There will be a few pre-election bribes surely?

The devil will be in the detail, like previous budgets \ pre-budget statements, it looks good until you analyse it.

Any sweeteners will have to be paid for from elsewhere probably with more stealth taxes.
