I'm sure you noticed the way the PM and the chancellor were colour coded yesterday. For every colour Brown was wearing Blair was wearing the equivalent but more subdued and pastel coloured. Brown had a vibrant red tie, Blair had a gentle pink tie. Brown had a crisp navy blue jacket, Blair had a nice greyish blazer. All deliberately done of course to promote the image of Brown as the fresh vibrant replacement for our PM. Shame he won't be elected by the people like Blair. As for the budget, meh. It was just shuffling piles of money from A to B with no net gains. The £1.5 bn in green taxes was interesting. I would very much like to see how this will be spent. Will the money be put back into green initiatives like wind farms? Or will petrol duty be reduced to compensate? What do you think?
