Happy New Year

Welcome, I hope you all had a great Christmas and not too much falling down water!

We can now look forward to a New Year filled with the prospect of a new PM and even bigger taxes. All in the name of the environment of course.

At least we have now finished paying back the Americans for the lease/lend of the last world war, so that will be a few more million they can throw down the NHS pit.

Thats enough of my ranting for this year, have a great time over new year and standby for more in the new year

Don't say I didn't warn you

Increased taxes!
As I said once before, If our leaders seem to think that adding yet more money to our already overwhelming tax burdon is going to save the world. They are living in cloud cuckoo land. It would not be so bad if we actually believed the money will go towards saving the planet. Right minded people will have already worked it out, that the last thing it will be spent on is enviromental protection. It will end up being poured into the bottomless pit called the NHS. Again no problem if it were going into front line services, but it isn't, it to goes to supporting an ever growing admin with senior officers being paid far more than they will ever be really worth.
If they really want to save the planet, why not turn off the thousands of street lights on motorways and left on all night, what are headlights for?
I read an artical in the Scotsman newspaper last Tuesday while on a flying visit north of the border, on the of subject tax, and I quote "The government want to talk about tax, lets talk about the abolition of married couples allowance, increases in national insurance, increases in tax on fuel, increased council tax (and how), raiding pension funds and savings, (50 billion) and many other stealth taxes that would take up far to much space.
To quote a prime minister from many years ago "we have never had it so good" but now it would be"so bad"
Mind you become an MP and get a gold plated pension, so who cares about the peasants who have to pay for it, they don't.
