On budget day the red box is held aloft, Darling's shock white hair a cut fox spilling itself to crimson. A 4% increase on the price of wine & beer puts no stop on a binge, the well-off drink in the belief that they help the poor through tax. Someone said it was a budget of Old Mother Hubbard - she's wearing aphetamine gladrags & still wants to eradicate child poverty. Pint glasses are clinked around the crib to make a special moment of joyous spontaneity that may be remembered tomorrow - as John James put it: "If there is memory in working class life it is because things are always being taken away"
