Darling, 20% off everything will save the economy

It’s been years since we have anticipated a pre-budget report this much but given the current economic turmoil we can expect the current Chancellor Alistair Darling to possibly announce some interesting new measures.

However, Darling should be looking to the high street at times like this as they are said to be suffering more than most as the economy heads into a downturn. Their response was simple, slash up to 20% off everything with big names such as M&S and Debenhams leading the way.

Now if my visit to the local shrine of consumerism this evening is anything to go by, this financial stimulus action worked with shops full of buyers fighting over the retailers wares as if it was January 1st.
