Tempted to put this in the Questions to which the answer is 'No' thread:

Budget 2012: are we really all in this together?

Does it really need to be asked? and if so in a blog entitled reality check?

We are all in this together - I don't think there's ever been a time when that isn't true. What Cameron *didn't* mention is what roles everyone would play. Turns out most of us will be "taking one for the team" to make sure a small number of us can afford that third annual holiday and new Range Rover Sport without having to dip into the savings.

Teamwork!

Makes me want to beat a Tory to death with a Lib Dem.

FT leading on the fact that, to no great surprise, lawyers are already marketing new stamp duty loopholes to replace the one Osborne closed. Osborne himself would have known that these whizzkids don't sit there all day doing nothing, but prepare alternatives in advance.

So presumably they'll drop that rubbish about the rich paying "five times more than they gain" from the budget.

Right, I'll start. I reckon I'd particularly like to beat George Osborne to death with Danny Alexander.

How about Eric Pickles with Sarah Teather?

Oooh, good one. I'd also like to pummel the shite out of Andrew Lansley with Nick Clegg.

Ooh, an early powerful choice, that I can't see being beaten.

I would like to fire Simon Hughes out of a cannon into Eric Pickles until he bursts.

Abernathy · **Posted:** Sat Apr 07, 2012 8:19 pm

One shot'd do it, I reckon.

I'd like to bombard the Liberal Club with Eric Pickles from a trebuchet.

In an obscure Subbuteo tribute, I would like to flick Michael Moore (Scottish Seccy, Libdem) at Michael Gone (Education, Con) until they snap at the ankles.
