Mini Budget

So our friends Dave and Co want to make more savings of 3.7 Billion pounds.
Now, I am not a politician, I'm not really all that bothered about which group of mercenaries line thier pockets when in power, I'm not a qualified accountant, I don't even have 'A' level maths to my name. So I was surprised when the savings needed to be made were announced, and then told of cuts that were to be introduced to achieve them.
I wouldn't like to be seen as a clever clogs and giving George financial advice but I think I could easily make over half of these savings without any impact on the British people.

Then read the reasons it is a good idea according to the Enviroment Minister .....

What on earth is going on in this country ?
To be honest I couldn't care less whether some farmer in Columbia has the use of wind farms, or helps tree planting schemes. What I do care about is the fact that THIS country is in the s**t and we are throwing billions of pounds to other countries on half baked schemes.
Rant over :)
