It's budget time here in the Kingdom of United, although we might need to revise that title if the chancellor carries on in his current vane. The apparent driving philosophy behind the budget seems to be to punish those who dare to rely on benefits. At least George Osborne hasn't fallen into the normal politician's trap of corralling the poor into two opposing camps, deserving and undeserving. And for this he rightly merits praise. No, he hates all poor people. And why not? They're a drain on resources. Their homes are ugly and they tend not to vote Conservative.
Still, that's what you get for voting in a majority new-right government. The market is left to its own egregious devices.
