Banks, blogs and the Budget

To be honest, Calton is still worrying about mulling over the ramifications of the new press laws Royal Charter and the escalating situation in Cyprus to be bothered about think about the Budget. No more fuel duty increases for the time being and a cut in the price of a pint are obviously a good thing but will pale into insignificance if the money in Calton's bank account can be raided at the drop of a hat to prop up ailing banks or if a complaint against this blog results in a huge fine. It's enough to make anyone burn the midnight oil, thereby depleting even further the resources which the OBR and the First Minister so spectacularly fail to agree on.
