Osborne Flies through Budget Cuts

Chancellor, George Osborne, has reduced the cost and spending on everyday items, everything from petrol to alcohol. In addition, a new scheme will help families with children; an estimated £1,200 will be reduced from parents’ taxes. Parents are only eligible if they both work.



These changes may affect how much debt the U.K. has. It is estimated by some economists that U.K. will be in around 85% more debt in 2017/2018.

Why did the show stop?

While singing in Philadelphia, Pink, 33 years old, stopped halfway through her concert when she saw a crying young girl and tried to comfort her. Pink asked the little girl “is everything alright? Are you Ok please don’t cry. Then Pink asked the mother of the child, “Why is your little girl crying?” The mother told the singer that there has been a fight.”, as audience members explained. “You all are fighting around a little girl?” She offered her young fan, who was dressed all in pink, a toy frog treat, with nearby audience members passing them back to the girl, who was still looking quite sad. “You’re beautiful, don’t cry. Cry when you’re older,” she said to the little girl, before hugging her. “Thank you for coming.” Said Pink.
