The Truth Leaked : Treasury Cuts Plan
Here are the key numbers:
That negative increase is what we normally call a cut:
(1 – .008) x ( 1 -.04) x (1 -.018) x (1-.03) = .9071
In other words a cut of 9.3% on 2009…

Lord Lamont told ITV News…
“I think the PM is just human and Ed Balls is a pretty irritating person”
So, basically, Gordon Brown lied?
I’m shocked I tell you.
Gordon Brown is a cut. A bit cu*t cu*t cu*t.
I wonder how long Dave has had the documents? When he kept asking Gordon about cuts at PMQs and Gordon was in denial, did Dave know then that the fucker was lying?
If Dave did know then surely it was his duty to expose Gordon in front of Parliament.
If that’s true then I doubt he’d release it now, he’d wait until Parliament is back to fully blast him
Dave’s figures in Parliament were from the Treasury-produces Budget report, showing the cuts in between the lines – these seem to be internal Treasury documents not intended for publication, showing the cuts rather more explicitly…
Everybody knew Gordon was lying – except Gordon. Its called denial.
The only cut I want to see from Gordon is when he cuts his throat!
Given Mandleson’s history I anticipate him drinking Brown’s blood.
Well, well. He always struck as a straight kind of guy just like Tony
As straight as a dog’s hind legs.
Lower than cockroach pee.
3 grades lower than snakeshit
Lower than a snake’s bollocks
Lower than a low thing that’s got particularly low.
Come on Jacqui Smith. Come on Speaker Martin. Come on useless fucking Sargeant-at-Arms in drag. Organise a police raid on Osborne’s parliamentary office. After all, if he’s leaking these kind of confidential memo’s it’s surely a matter of national security.
Come on Nu Labour. Get the yacht stories and the coke-and-hookers stories on the BBC.
Come on lads. Get Brown out to Afghanistan. Got to get this shit off the front page or, at least, the evening news.
Shoot some fucking celebrity or something.
Pardon some c*nt from 100 years ago. Pardon all the ‘deserters’ shot in WWI whose only crime was their nerves were shattered.
Jesus guys. Get this shit off the BBC website.
Crash the fucking pound or something.
Breaking news – Terrorist control orders – Home Office – Big issue – panic….. There is the diversion. They are so fucking transparent.
we have received a complaint, and we are investigating
Is there a process to convict? Al Capone was prosecuted for tax evase, prosecution for lying would provide very satisfying humiliation for some of us
It wasn’t a lie; it was a 0% truth.
Gordon from cut to cυnt
Nice one!
jgm2, lied? All the man did was open his gob and speak.
Standard for most politicians then
You can type “Balls” into every answer here, and it always gets a laugh.
you mean that brown lied ?
Vote Labour, Huntservative or Lib Dem or SNP or… you will get cu*ts.
Good! Let’s have some “savage cuts”.
Who do you suggest we vote for then?
Not those lefty loony Bee en Pee?
Or the Melons? (That’s Green – green on the outside, red on the inside)
LibDems? – nulabour lite
Thing is – if you don’t vote Tory next time , you won’t ever get a chance to vote in this country again
On the whole, not voting ever again sounds the better option.
You’ll think differently when it’s you in the orange jumpsuit and some sadistic bastard with the pliars on your balls
Can this be put on in another format, please? For some resaon, our Departmental IT system won’t allow me to access this from Whitehall in its present format.
Allow me to summarise:
Gordon Brown = a cunt. It’s official.
Impeachment Now
Not since Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville in 1806 has this been done, and surely Grinding Bruin is the worst PM ever. impeachment, it’s what he deserves
It’s only the beginning of what he deserves…
Hunt? cunt? Hunt? – Ah! That’s how you do it!
GREAT STUFF GUIDO – WE KNEW YOU’D RISE TO OUR CHALLENGE – and within 90 minutes too!!
(Lying bastards…)

Hey – this new tale from George Osborne that he has leaked treasury documents showing that the Prime Mentalist has been contemplating 10% cuts all along has legs surely?
Misleading Parliament? A resigning matter?
Guess he’ll shove it all onto Darling and his team – or die trying…
WATCH THIS SPACE…? GO GUIDO GO!
“I take full responsibility which is why Alastair Darling has been asked to resign.
His replacement is my good friend and much admired colleague Ed Balls. It is important that the public have trust in what politicians tell them and I have to tell you that both Ed and I put the truth above everything else.”
Balls?
Brown is a compulsive liar, but not as good at it as Blair. How that must give Broon anguish!!!
JG Broon is not as good as B-Liar at anything!!!
What a sad indictment – 10 years as a useless Chancellor followed up by utter failure as PM.
Some CV that will be.
Yes
forget where I read it, but neat comparison of post-elections possibilities with Lord M strutting the stage ( Europe, non-exec directorships ) as man with a future and Broon lucky to earn £ 2.50 as an after dinner speaker at the Worksop NUS annual piss up.
I feel sure he can do better than this, there is always a big demand for villains at Panto time.
He would make an excellent Widow Twanky!
An even better Twidow Wanky!
He’d make an excellent Pinocchio.
His wooden delivery. His wooden gait. And his fucking enormous lying nose.
I am glad he is not as good as Blair at covering his arse, as otherwise we would have a few more years of complete idiots running our country. At least the Conservative idiots are very vaguely Conservative.
Is that a good thing?
Iam really shocked that Brown could lie to us,are you sure Guido,I mean his father was a religious man ,how could this be,he said he has a moral compass,no I don’t believe you,sorry, must go the nurse is bringing my medicine.
that’s not a nurse, it’s a health care assistant
2010-2012 is going to be f*cking tight, whoever is PM and Chancellor.
2010-2032 is going to be f*cking tight, whoever is PM and Chancellor.
2012 – Don’t make me f*cking laugh!!
Need bigger cuts than that to try and recover from browns fuckups
No 1 bonfire of the Quangos.
No2 EUSSR
No3 Get out of Afghanistan now
No4 Cut then cut then cut again and then cut the Civil (some joke) Service,and the cut the councils,the plastic police,
Try this for size -
1. Scrap ID cards – pointless waste
2. Scrap all databases – they never bloody work anyway
3. Scrap all useless Quangos – Money down the drain
4. Scrap Wind farms – get real, go nuclear
5. Dismantle the nanny state – we can think for ourselves!
6. Cut back on Overseas aid – India etc
7. Stop subsidising Scotland and Waes
8. Reduce the number of MPs
9. Get rid of all the cameras and the goons behind them
How am I doing?
Pretty good so far.
How about;
10. Simplify tax and tax credit regime to reduce admin, e.g. stop the lunacy of docking income tax from someone, then giving them tax credits. Just give a higher tax-free allowance on income and scrap the tax credits altogether.
Sounds a bit vague, but I like the general tone. Maybe something more along the lines of :
1. Imprison all expenses thieves, that about 600 of them.
2. Prosecute Brown, Blair, Manglebum, et al for War Crimes.
3. Confiscate all assets misappropriated by this filth, ie 2nd, 3rd and 10th houses.
4. Abolish state-funded pensions for civil servants, MP’s, Councillors, etc.
5. Unemployment benefit available only to those with enough NI contributions. Everyone else can jump.
6. Scrap all immigration. Deport all illegals.
7. Arrest the boards of all banks involved in Casino Economics, liquidate all their personal assets, liquidate all the banks assets (those High Street branches must be worth a bit) Prison for all involved.
8. Shoot Jamie Oliver.
9. And Gordon Ramsay.
10. That Nigella’s alright though.
Disco Hassan for Minister of Food and Agriculture
Not bad at all.
11. Scrap the socialist 50% tax on high incomes – it will result in more work for tax accountants and increased emigration, actually dropping income tax revenue
12. Tax relief on private health and education services, let’s encourage people to reduce their dependency on the State provision.
13. No-one paid by the public purse to earn more than a Cabinet Minister (150k)
14. Creation of a team of Public negotiators with signoff of every major project such as PFI deals, to ensure that the contracts are fair on both sides, rather than the current contracts which privatise profits and socialise losses. These can be exempt from limits on earnings and paid 1% of their saving of public money (could be millions)
Establish a ‘Truth and Reconciliation’ committee so that Labour MPs, ministers, SPaDs, councillors, shills and apparatchiks can unburden themselves of the evil lies they have told and be rehabilitated to the dole queues which is all the fuckers are worth.
We, as a country, need closure on this terrible episode in our history.
15. Take back all the money paid to consultants and vulture organisations like Capita over the last 12 years. Including confiscation of all assets of directors of said organisations.
16. Get rid of child benefits and administer it through tax allowances like the Swiss do – no more paying skanky mums to be baby producers.
17. No NHS payment for fertility treatment while there is a single kid in the country waiting to be adopted.
18. Scrap Trident and develop our own independent nuclear delivery system – gain independence from the increasingly Britophobic yanks, and create manufacturing and sci/tech jobs at the same time, plus keeping the money in Britain a la the Keynesian multiplier
repeal all nu stasi legislation
free and empower the people
FLAT TAX.
First £12,000 you receive in a year exempt, then 24% on everything – income or capital – above that. Any most of us don’t have to wait for the harvest before paying tax, so let’s make that a calendar year, not a ‘tax year’. Abolish all National Insurance and make everyone under 65 pay 5% of their income into a Pension Fund.
Simples.
‘any’ = ‘and’. Sorry
10. Get out of the EU
Save billions.
11. Stop invading other countries
12. Stop electing socialist nancy-boy, islamo-loving governments
And…
Lock up and sequestrate the assets of merchant bankers
Turn the Isle of Dogs into a leper colony
Re-natiolanlise all energy companies
One thing is for certain: the Defence budget will be cut while Foreign Aid will increase. This will happen under both a blue and red version of the rotating dictatorship that is called “democracy”.
“Hundreds of our troops dead. For what? To secure a few unstable votes in a corrupt decadent and country with an illegitimate political system headed by international financial institutions? If so, we better bring the troops back home to do the same in the U.K. -for that is a mirror image of the system now in place here…”

I feel sick every time I read this section and view its pictures.
Here are some first class reports from Helmand

The BBC are falling over themselves to play this down.
The BBC showed all of Dave’s speech, Sky cut to an interview with IDS, what game is Rupert playing I wonder?
and play up opposition to Obamas hopeless ideas for socialist rationing of medical treatment as racist.
@46
My thought exactly. Jimmy Carter is typical of the self-loathing, guilt ridden white socialist morons that are ruining the world. We now have got to the point that if you disagree with Obama, for whatever reason, you are a racist.
That was inevitable, once things went bad for him any opposition or criticism was always going to be tagged racist. Its the way the left works.
Off Topic but….
They are just trying to take the vote in Strassburg for Commission President, but the electronic voting system has broken down. German commentator asked if a show of hands wouldn’t do.
No came the answer, the vote is a private matter for the MEPs.
Grrrrrrr.
Germans have form on shows of hands
The gobbler will probably claim it was produced after he denied the cuts…
What I don’t get is this portrayal that he is some sort of intellectual heavyweight?
Who made that one up?
Was it someone spinning it that he was a fat hoon?
Let’s get this straight. In five years’ time, all else being equal, the government will only be borrowing perhaps one in five pounds it spends instead of one in four?
Whoop-de-farking-do.
Hell, Barroso has got the job, I’m watching him being congratulated by that other old Marxist, Cohn-Bendit.
Grrrr….Grrrrr
Barroso is a fucking Maoist for fucks sake.
Debt interest 2009-10 : £27.2bn
Debt interest 2014-14 : £ 63.7bn
Increase: £ 36.5bn
2009 Defence Budget: £ 33.6bn
Big number.
Just wait until the governmnet loses it’s AAA rating and interest rates go up.
And watch the pound crash and massive inflation set in
Quality stuff indeed once again…allow me to share my own little piece which includes Labour’s Twitter tzar Kerry McCarthy showing she is right up to speed.
http://thelonelinessofalongdistanceblogger.blogspot.com/2009/09/today-while-reading-through-updates-of.html
the boy Gordon did well.
“I never lied” GB
“I always tell the truth” GB
Now we know that it must have been the BBC who badly cut the footage:
…”except when I am lying, then I am not telling the truth” GB
…damn those editors…Bring back Jonathon Ross…
I think you’re looking at the wrong column to get your 9%-odd cuts figure.
You’re looking at Departmental Expenditure Limits, when you should be looking at Total Managed Expenditure. Otherwise you’re not including expenditure on annualised project terms (AME), you’re just factoring central government expenditure on three-year plans.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s a lying shit, and he’s mental. I’m with you on that one. But your version of the cuts is wrong because you’re only looking at DEL.
Labour’s compasionate cuts.
Typo – I forgot to add the ‘n’.
Another typo – you typed ‘compassionate’. They ain’t.
Radio 5 Live, 8.15am today
Nicky Campbell interviewing Jim Knight.
“…Godon Brown was Chancellor and is now Prime Minister, apparently…”
Made me choke on my coffee, rather amusing from a Beeboid.
Pleased it wasn’t just me that imagined it while still half asleep!
I bet old multiple miggs could smell Brown’s cut from over a Km.
What’s going on with Barroso’s head? It looks like it was grown in a bell jar.
Check out the ‘Capital Expenditure” line!
It is dated 21 April 2009, isn’t it – see last line? And we are hearing about this only now?
Protectively marked “confidential” and therefore an unauthorised disclosure under the Official Secrets Act, and a breach of the law.
Can we expect a police investigation? With all the headlines that would entail?
Sorry to be a pedant, but .9071 as a percentage is 9.1% to 2 significant figures. Get it right Guido!!
“But it’s no 10% I tell ye! It’s only 9.3%. And that makes awlll the difference, ye ken? Besides which, it wasnae me! A big boy did it then he ran awae!”
i1 – .9071 = .0929 which is 9.3% to 2 sig figs
that should read 1 – .9071
Any credibility Gordon had remaining has been shot to pieces.
He should resign and call an election.
With the gold price hovering around $1015 time to remind the general public of Gordon Pension-Robbers gold sales methinks!!!!!!!
Suggestion to tory HQ; the election ads should say that sometimes less is more.
As this article would confirm: Bloated Britain – Bride of Gorgon.
Nothing for tea tonight methinks.
Thanks for sharing that – I’m off me food too now.
What use is it though? We`ve all known for a long time that Brown is an even bigger liar than Bliar, but this wont change anything. Asked for comments on this he will use the defence they always use….”that i cant comment on leaked papers as that is the real crime here..”
…hang on mo. bigger liar than Blair? That’s pushing it bit.
I know i keep saying this but surely someone can stand up in Parliament and say that “you cant trust anything Brown says because he is a liar!”.
It would be a wonderful moment.
It also goes for Dave though dunnit?
With gold at 4 times what he sold it for, is it time for Gordon to buy it all back? That would be in line with the rest of his financial f%$k ups
Viral videos don’t really do him justice, do they? Constant repetition of his claim that “Labour investment vs Tory cuts” was the issue for the next election should be played at every available opportunity. Brown knew what small print was hiding away in the details, he always does (he did so with the 10p tax rate)
Bring on the next election, and be gone with Brown!
He is doing this for all our good – not just the good of Kirkcaldy.
He knows we don’t understand the workings of Government.
He knows we are stupid.
He knows that lying is good for us.
Was I the only one who giggled when all this talk of the “c-word” was thrown about?
“That negative increase is what we normally call a cut”
Yes, but those are real decreases i.e. taking inflation into account. Given that inflation will be roaring ahead by then, in nominal (i.e. cash) terms all the departments will be getting big increases.
See – “no cuts” !
the labour website still has details on what a 10% cut would mean
http://www.labour.org.uk/david_cameron_mr_10_per_cent
i’m guessing they know because thats what they’re planning
44,130 teachers, and 34,490 teaching assistants
a loss of 15,000 police officers
32,000 university places
18,000 soldiers
What do you get when you spell TUC backwards?
Better get used to it, comrades. The party’s over. (The Labour party, as well as yours)
This leaked document got me wondering…was this what AD used against Brown to keep his job as Chancellor during the summer cabinet reshuffe ? Could it even have been him who leaked it following a disagreement with Gordon ?
