Yes that is quite lucky I suppose.Luckily enough there are wise people like yourself who are quite happy to educate us mere plebs.
Who the hell else can they go after to fix a gap in tax receipts?Not really. They've know about this gap in the finances for a while and again they're going after the tax payer.
Where would you cut?Who the hell else can they go after to fix a gap in tax receipts?
I agree with you btw that public spending has to be cut. Massively.
There are plenty of other people they can go after, maybe the ones who are a bit closer to home.Who the hell else can they go after to fix a gap in tax receipts?

We'll never agree when it comes to politicsYes that is quite lucky I suppose.

That's very true, you Labour apologistProbably not but there’d be no fun if we did.
He’s holding his own.ECB and Lisa stop ganging up on Smurph!
Thanks, knew I could rely on youECB and Lisa stop ganging up on Smurph!
Yes they do.Do they? I'd settle for a more competent government to get a grip and stick to the promises they made while chasing the public vote during the GE.
I guess the Labour apologist will always make excuses.

Ironically over the last 20 years or so I’ve voted other than Labour more than I’ve voted for Labour. I won’t be voting for them next May either unless the polls change dramatically between now and then.That's very true, you Labour apologist![]()
You've used the word "We" quite a lot.Yes they do.
We expect free universal healthcare, free education until 18 (most want it free until 21). We expect to work from the age of 18/ 21 and retire in our 60s with plenty of holidays, sick pay, maternity, paternity leave, we expect the state to keep us for the remaining 20 years of our life after retirement and to pay us extra for heating in the winter etc. and to pay for our travel, we expect the state to keep us in a nursing home if we’re not well enough, to pay for what we need if we can’t work for any reason, to keep our borders safe and secure, to sort out any mess caused by our obsession to buy more and more crap and to fill up huge tracts of land to dispose of it.
And we don’t want to pay tax.
