"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt.

Miliband actually says the right thing for once:
But Labour leader Ed Miliband opted not to join in with the chorus of criticism of the Eight Out of 10 Cats star's tax affairs.
