Not only is there no green support of any substantial kind, there is no redistributive justice in it either of any substance. As far as I can see, the budget is a damp squib. Brown was a terrible Chancellor and is a terrible PM, and may have hamstrung Darling. We may well be heading in the Japanese direction if we are not there already. The debt to GDP ratio for the UK is terrible and it would not surprise me to see presently unregulated hedge funds produce a run on the pound. This will make Darling's fantasy figures of growth even more fantastically unrealistic. What is to be done, when those who could don't?
