Paul continued, "This was a wasted opportunity from the Chancellor who I thought may have tackled some of the problems he has been talking about of late. He didn't do enough to tax pollution, he didn't do anything to get rid of Government waste, he didn't do anything to help young families and there were many more missed opportunities. The legacy of Gordon Brown as Chancellor will be a catalogue of unnecessary projects like the £5 Billion plus on the illegal war in Iraq, the ever increasing cost of their unpopular ID Card's policy which could cost the tax payer as much as £18 Billion and not forgetting the £74 billion they committed to for the decommissioning of the existing generation of nuclear power stations. Building a new series of nuclear power stations will simply add to that bill. I'm afraid I am not impressed and if this is an indication of New Labour under Gordon Brown we should be worried. The gap between rich and pooer gets wider and wider - Margaret Thatcher would be proud."
