Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition

Ha ha. What a dull Budget. Ha ha. Delivered by a dull man. Ha ha.

The thing is, what the hell were people expecting? When was the last time anybody laughed themselves sick at the delivery of a budget? Or wept hot tears of emotion? It’s a recitation of revenues and expenditures not Madam bleedin’ Butterfly or The Empire Strikes Back. Of course it’s sodding boring. It’s never anything else. Don’t make an issue of it.

If only Alistair Darling had told a few mucky jokes or done his white-eared elephant impression. Maybe next year.

    Well, if he’d blindfolded Gordon Brown before sticking a sword into his guts it certainly would have made a change.

    Nigel Lawson’s budget, when he cut the top rate of tax to 40% – tell me you didn’t Hulk out at such a blatant giveaway to the rich?

    Who presented yesterday’s affair, was it darling or major?
    Are they one and the same?

    I was driving, and I pulled over to the side of the road to calm myself.
