Austerity my rse. 14 years to prepare and what a dog's dinner he made to it. NI, Pensioners Fuel, Benefits reduction debacle, borrowing costs, Chagos, Southport, Jury Trials, Non-Dom, Farm tax, Grooming Gangs, boats, deportations (half a dozen) etc, the list gets tedious - worth a Tik Tok short. Couldn't even tax mansion houses without it costing more to think about the money than HMRC might get.
North Sea perhaps the worst, highest engergy cost of any industrial nation, and becoming de-industrialsed by the minute. At least Reeves will get the boot, but god help us if Miliband gets the job. |
