But at least there's enough in the pot to pay an increase in benefits!?? wtf??
Surely if inflation is low and nobody needs a pay rise then the sponging wasters who can't be ar5ed working don't need any more?
Come on Mr Broon, play the white man - so to speak!!

Even better...
Tonight it is announced by the "one eyed Scottish idiot" that the UK has signed up to paying £500 MILLION per year for the next 3 years to countries hit by "global warming", the "highest of any European country". F
ing brilliant. £1.5B would go a long way to meeting the forthcoming cuts in the MOD budget. Is it me or have the current Govt lost the plot.....COMPLETELY?

Pre-Budget Speech
This is what the Chancellor actually said in the house ref public sector pay (Taken from Hansard):
"The senior civil service will take the lead with a cut in its pay bill of up to £100 million over three years, and any new Government appointment of someone on more than £150,000 and all bonuses of more than £50,000 will require explicit approval by the Treasury. I can announce that for the two years from 2011 we will ensure that all public sector pay settlements are capped at 1 per cent. [Interruption.]
9 Dec 2009 : Column 370
Mr. Speaker: Order. I apologise for interrupting the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Mr. Bellingham, we have, on a regular basis, a running commentary from you, but the House does not need it and the country does not need it either.
Mr. Darling: As with previous pay decisions, we will recognise the special circumstances of the armed forces. "
So the military might, deservedly in my opinion, get more than 1% after all. As a tax payer, I see investment in the military
as an insurance policy against many proven threats to be a far better use of money than wasting it on the myth of man-made climate change.
A merry, and safe, Christmas to all in the UK Armed Forces wherever you are serving over the festive season.
