Budget day but I’m not at all excited. We don’t need a budget to do this or to do that, we need something now that’s utterly beyond the scope of any budget. The environment in which any kind of budget would make a perceivable difference is gone now. No-one seems to be addressing this, probably because they’ve got no idea what to do – witness both main parties accusing the other of lack of detail in their policies on how to deal with the deficit. The pretence is that it’s business as usual, but it isn’t, and I doubt it ever will be again. Buy your tickets now for the end of the world… as we’ve known it…
