The Budget 2008
Filed under: Health and Fitness | No Comments »
The Budget for 2008 is set to be delivered tomorrow at 12.30pm by the Chancellor Alistair Darling. I’m sure you’ve already seen the press coverage suggesting that Alistair Darling is merely presenting Gordon Brown’s measures as former Chancellor himself.
Among the changes likely to be announced are increase in ‘green taxes’ things like 4×4 drivers being hit hard again and help for people struggling to pay their bills. The government is expected to continue incentivise low emission cars. It’s just a shame they seem to be intent on pricing everyone else off the road with extortionate fuel prices. I wouldn’t mind so much if public transport was actually any good! If I were to try and complete my 20 mile journey to work every day by public transport it would take me around 2 and half hours to do a journey that takes half an hour to 40 minutes in a car. I’m simply not going to do it!!
