A tale of two budgets
Broon has been done to death elsewhere, but here are some extracts from the Irish Republic's budget, published yesterday:
"The 20 per cent standard income tax band widened by £1350 per year to £23000 for single person and £29000 for married one-earner couples". (My rounding from figures in euros)
"Stamp duty thresholds unchanged but mortgage interest relief for first-time buyers doubled".
"Top rate of income tax cut by one percentage point to 41 per cent". (OK, its a start..)
Tax cuts and fiscally worth your while to get married. Jealous yet?

Have seriously considered moving there C. The presence of the Irish is clearly a drawback though and Mrs N will not tolerate alife in which eiher the Scots of the Irish are prominent .
tsk , so prejudiced
What does Mrs N have against Celts?
I wonder if Hibernians still have the collossal tax breaks for creative artists. If so, do you suppose blogging counts?
was jealous before
Momentum. Unfortunately the virtuous circle in Ireland stands in stark contrast to the bleak spiral in the UK.
And being hosed down with euros by the EU does make balancing the books a tad easier.
there has just been a deastaing tornado a few hundred yards from where I am here (london) overturned cars, how fucking bizzare
Storm, I just picked that up PHITCH. -Bizarre is right .
Mrs N is a mass of prejudice but reserves her most splenetic outburtsts for the mean thin lipped Pictish Horde.
I just read something by Anne Coulter.Is she a bit Verity-esque or am I likely to be shot for such a stupid suggestion ? If so please delete it before V can sees it.I do not want to be in the firing line
go to guido fawkes and read my tornado joke if you like) its under the galoway heading
PH - a wardrobe that can give shelter to 12 people must be a marvel to behold.
Should I retire to
Ireland? But could I stand all the winsomeness?
Ikea happens to be another of my secret and guilty pleasures.
The rugs the plants the hot dogs, I have reindeer sausage in the fridge most of the stuff is crap but its hard to resist.

Tyler Durden, how on earth did you end up in NW London?
Stalking Helena Bonham Carter I suppose.
There is that, yes. But I imagine if you sang in praise of Her Maj in Cork they would not be winsome long.
The queues are not much fun though.
for all the myriad faults of Gordon Brown - Irish property prices - at least around Dublin - make London look cheap.
And their stamp duty rates are much, much higher.
