Osborne sucks life out of the 1 per cent

Wednesday 20 March 2013

As Dracula unleashes his Budget today with his fangs at the ready for the needy and plenty of handouts for the greedy

The 5 per cent giveaway to millionaires hands them a nice £1,000 a week extra to spend.

The City will get more cuts to corporation tax and wealth worshippers will enjoy no mansion tax .

No extra tax on us for having five, 10, 20 or 100 bedrooms we only use for putting our guests up after a jolly good knees up.

Yet in the other world of the 1 per cent, life consists of benefit freezes, 20 per cent VAT on essential goods, rising fuel and food costs, inflation rising while wages are being eroded, a lack of new housing, unemployment at 2.5m and austerity.

Dracula is sucking the life out of us all and his great economic remedy leaves a triple dip recession around the corner.

If re-elected Dracula and the rest of the immortals would leave Britain in ruins for three generations.
