How is the autumn statement going to affect you?

My philosophy might be wrong but it seems like we have been going round in circles for years with the two major parties. On one hand you have labour who will borrow money to get people back to work. Then you have the tories who cut borrowing and put people out of a job.

Yes and we are the piggies in the middle.

Oh the tories have a brilliant idea, they want to let in tens of thousands of Romanians and Bulgarians, so that the labour market is even more saturated with people desperate enough to do any work, and keep down the labour costs so the fatcats can still afford that 8th holiday in Tuscany this year

What have piggies in the middle got to do with Romanians and Bulgarians? Cant see the direct connection.

Me clicking the wrong quote button I meant more the Andy's quote about people being out of a job, which in turn was the piggies in the middle quote, which sort of led to the idea that there might be many more people coming here and chasing jobs when two economically disadvantaged countries earn full movement under EU rules, and............can I blame being hungover?
