Congratulations to Derry on winning UK City of Culture 2013. The city has a vibrant heart and becoming better known by more people will benefit Britain and Ireland as well as Derry itself. It is good luck on my part that I was in Derry and able to sign up there to support the bid very much as a latecomer just four days before they were successful. As my father was schooled in Derry, my grandmother from there and I've spent many happy occasions visiting family and visiting with friends I was pleased to support the city's bid.

Reducing the size of the State and encouraging private enterprise is a good thing. The dominance of public sector spending on the UK economy, on particular sectors and in particular towns and cities shows far too much dependence on the State and taxation and not enough enterprise and jobs generated by people, businesses, and communities themselves. If this is to be done it should be as a deliberate thought out principled policy approach not as a part of an emergency budget to correct the deluded spending plans of a bankrupt Labour Government and curtail an unsustainable deficit.

The Budget by the coalition is a responsible Budget, protecting the poorest workers, taking many of them out of income tax altogether, reversing some of Labour's unfair tax hikes and putting up capital gains tax for the well off. Stopping an increase in National Insurance - Labour's tax on jobs instead of simply taxing income more for the rich - is good but the capital gains tax and inheritance tax could have gone up more for the rich to claim back for society more unearned wealth. That would have been better than the increase in VAT across the board. I'm pleased the excessive taxes on alcohol (a tax imposed by well off professionals and Labour politicians as part of their social control) have been stopped for now.
