The compromise seems to be a tax rise for the rich via the mansion levy and a tax cut for the rich via cutting the 50p level on those who earn over £150,000/year.
Probable result? No real change... but still this gargantuan struggle between titanic forces (Vince and Gideon) leads the news and smothers the budget discussions.
Jorge Louis Borges, the Argentinian novelist and thinker, described the Falklands War as "two bald me fighting over a comb". He could have meant the prize, the Falklands Islands, was not worth the effort.
YOU STOLE MA COMB!!!
In the case of the Vince -v- Gideon it means to me, that, whoever wins, the outcome is meaningless. It's a fake battle with a predicted outcome. The aim is to look antagonistic and busy for the benefit of the two party's followers.
In reality it's a pointless waste of energy.
