The credit crunchies early UK budget report

Written by Matt B First published 22/04

You can follow developments fairly live on twitter.com #budget09 and #budget. There is a budget summary from the BBC.

The truth of matters is that the economy is shrinking and so there is a squeeze going on. This budget while not very dramatic mirrors this.

There was a serious economic situation like this after the Great War (World War One) and the first country out of that got ther by spending hard and giving away bread. Also they grew the army to make jobs. That was Germany and e all know how that ended up.

Have your say.

Will we eat wonky fruit and veg? ask the BBC as silly EU rules on "funny looking fruit" are withdrawn and up to 20% of food no longer is illegal. The implication is that prices could drop and "market" value, "ugly food for cooking" and other brands might be introduced at much lower cost.
