http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/apr/29/tories-promise-tax-lock-in-latest-move-to-combat-labour Tories promise 'tax lock' in latest move to combat Labour Prime Minister has seriously lost the plot This must be the most crassly ludicrous, ridiculous, patronising promise, pledge, or undertaking made by any politician (so far) of any party during this election campaign. To even consider that the electorate will accept this nonsense demonstrates that this Prime Minister who is seeking another term in the office, has seriously lost the plot and had his powers of logic and reasoning damaged beyond repair by "sitting in one place for too long". There is absolutely no reaso n to believe that a Chancellor of the Exchequer of any party would commit to a five year period of income tax freezes on all income bands, freezing duties on all goods and services, freezing VAT rates or any of the other fiscal tools when proposing annual their budg...

"Tax sugar to combat obesity" The latest revenue raising scam, this time from Chief Medical Officer for England.
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/tax-addictive-sugar-to-combat-growing-levels-of-obesity-says-chief-medical-officer-9169310.html Tax ‘addictive’ sugar to combat growing levels of obesity, says chief medical officer "just a spoonful" Dame Sally Davies told the Health Select Committee she believes that “research will find sugar is addictive”. It is always the case that when some substance or other is identified as harmful, or is alleged to be harmful (or it becomes popular to be described as harmful for a couple of weeks), some "expert" or organisation or government "spokesperson" trots out the same cliched solution."Put a huge tax on it". If these people are really serious, and really want to protect the rest of us from cigarettes, alcohol, fizzy drinks, or a thousand and one other things including, this week sugar, they should completely ban the manufacture, distribution and sale of the par...
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/9717537/Kelvin-MacKenzie-overtaxed-South-needs-its-own-party.html Kelvin MacKenzie: overtaxed South needs its own party Kelvin MacKenzie After the publication of the "Hillsborough Report" and the silence from this pea brain since then, I thought that Kelvin MacKenzie had done the decent thing and pushed off to outer Mongolia to live out the rest of his days contemplating his navel in some obscure village at the base of a remote mountain. No such luck. Here he is back on form and spouting his usual obnoxious bile in this piece of tripe masquerading as a newspaper article. How this arrogant, ignorant and self opinionated little man can be described as a journalist is quite beyond me. His divisive comments in respect of the North/south divide and the divisions between peoples are really quite nauseating.
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/may Christine Lagarde, the self appointed "World Protector", and leader of the unelected "IMF Supreme Council" weighs in with her contribution to the growing distorted hysteria, attempting to influence the outcome of the forthcoming Greek elections. There can be no thinking person who really believes that the crisis in the Greek economy is the consequence of ordinary people, "Greek parents" to use her terminology, not paying their taxes. This simplistic, almost naive analysis, is an attempt to convince ordinary people in the rest of the Eurozone, together with those, like ourselves who are not members of the "Euro Club", that the crisis has nothing to do with the banks, financial institutions, speculators and the like, and the duplicitous politicians of the coalition of New Democracy (ND) and Pasok and more recently the unelected “technocrat” prime minister and government, who entered into austerity agreem...
