The Budget Summary - Winners and Losers

Well, I've had Burton going through the fine details of the Budget with a slide rule, and this is what he's come up with... 

A married man earning £1 million a year in the City of London will be smart enough not to be paying any tax.

A man with two children living in a gated street off Whitehall and earning £200,000 per annum will soon be homeless.

People who like drinking decent cider are going to be livid.

An Archdruid in a large house in the South-East of England will be substantially worse off when she dies. But then she won't care.

A banker living in a five-bedroomed house in the South Downs will shortly be moving to Switzerland.

Two gay people buying a £600,000 house in Beaconsfield will still attract loud tutting from the neighbours.

A Curate in the Church of England can't afford to buy anything anyway, so will be no better or worse off.

A member of the Unite Union can hold the Government to ransom.

People who smoke 50 cigarettes a day smell.

A married man in Somerset with three children, who drinks 8 pints of scrumpy every night is probably going to go blind.

People living in parts of Glasgow are still going to die ten years younger than people living in Iraq.
