Now that we've heard Gideon's Autumn Statement - containing such unexpected bombshells as the u-turn over the abolition of tax credits and the fact that my workplace is only going to have its budget cut by 0.8% per annum instead of the projected 25-40% - I can't help but seeing it the other way round. Could the Statement have been intended to sweeten up the electorate in order to win public support for - or at least divert attention away from - an upcoming war?
