Remove head from arse...

....before making any important pronouncements.

The desperate well thought out measures announced today by Cpt Mainwairing The Badger of the Exchequer on taxation policy must be making every former Chancellor turn in their grave, or the House of Lords as we know it, as they see the magnificence of the ill-thought out series of pronouncements and their impart on the crucial target group of voters.

Just before a major electoral test.

In which you get a serious, serious, kicking.

And then announce a u-turn which has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the outcome - "Do you think we are that shallow?"

Increase the personal allowances to reduce the tax bill on the poorest. Reduce the higher rate threshold to increase the tax on the highest earners. Bloody hell, you would think we had communists socialists liberals wet Tories running the country.

Just wait for the (fake) outrage in the Telegraph and Mail tomorrow and a subsequent 'clarification' from the Badger.

I'm not sure that 'useless' is an adequate description of the fall guy's (in)abilities....
