BUDGET DAY 2012

I have been listening to the sneering tone from the BBC this morning as regards the imminent Osborn budget. Even Davies was tweeting that “I wonder if an aspirin can help protect people from the Chancellor”? earlier this morning.I cannot recall any of the Labour budgets being undermined in this fashion but it seems the BBC just cannot help themselves when it is a Conservative Chancellor. Stephanie “Two Eds” Flanders was speculating that an increase in stamp duty on property over £2m was not really adequate and that maybe in the future there should be some annual additional charge on property! It strikes me that instinctively the BBC want to see some of that redistribution of wealth that excites them so.
