I await tomorrow's budget with baited breath....

The Sunday Times reports that Gordon Brown is about to raise taxes on Wednesday's budget to an all time high.

Despite the bad news, Gordon Brown remains one of the best chancellors this country has ever had. Many of our newspaper editors seem to have forgotten the boom / bust cycle that used to make Britain's economy the sick man of Europe. We have now had over twelve years of sustained economic growth, something that would have once been unthinkable.

And remember, most of the tax rises have been through indirect taxation, we still pay less income tax than most Europeans. So if you don't want to pay Gordon Brown's taxes, save your earnings and spend them abroad!
