It is convenient when you can blame the previous government for some of the new taxes. It makes adding your own a little easier to do.

Well when the previous government left things in such a mess what do you expect?

January we have VAT up to 20% - Labour decision. We have seen NI contribution (a stealth tax on jobs) rise from 10% to 11% (a ten percent increase)a 50% tax rate on high earners. We pay more council tax more tax on petrol, cigs and booze. All under Labour!

Oh - and don't forget what the flight taxes were before labour doubled them in 1997!

And the last Labour Governments got the UK into a really great state, well I suppose some might think nearly bankrupting the country was a good legacy.....[:(!]: :)
