Today is the day when political commentators can get their teeth into something solid, instead of the usual Wesminster/media wankfest of entrail reading, 'cos today is The Budget.
Actually, economic commentators will get their teeth into it, while the politico's carry on the normal snore-a-thon and wonder why fewer and fewer of the public cold care less.
Anyway, other than the rises in tax on fags, booze and petrol, The Budget is of limited interest to the general public who need not worry themselves over the macro-economic state of the nation. Plenty of stuff within it though to be of interest (Climate change and carbon emissions reductions being a particular sub-set that has grown in importance in general and to myself) but I can't help myself when nodding off in front of the live broadcast as, like many other people, I can't listen to what Chancellor Gordon Brown says without being totally distracted and put off by that spacky thing he does with his mouth.
Someone slap him out of it please...
