Well, self censorship sometimes pays off.

I have had one of my comments published within a speech bubble on the BBC news website. I thought long and hard about what I was going to say about today's Budget Speech.

Then I changed my mind and wrote what was published:



I was going to say that this budget is dressing up the fiscally disasterous economy in the cloak of competence in the same way as a whore dresses up to look like a nun.

But then I thought that they would not publish that.
