Brendan was on Channel 4 News just now, rambling on about how wicked and evil the government's plans to slim down the bloated public sector were, yadda yadda, when out of the blue, he said something along the lines of "We have to think radically. We should look to America where they have reduced taxes to stimulate the economy"
This transcript unfortunately stops just short of these utterances. Crikey, the Records Department are quick nowadays!
Of course, tax cuts by themselves are fairly meaningless unless accompanied by spending cuts, but hey, one step at a time, one step at a time...

I saw that too. It wasn't a mirage. Or maybe we are both mad and need re-educating.
Funny how when spending exceeds income, government only ever looks to increase the income.
Maybe he's finally realised that tax cuts means overall tax revenues will rise so more union borthers and sisters can be employed by the bloated public sector!
