I'm off to buy my shell suite, illuminus socks and shoulder pads now then, before the vat is put on them. Maybe I can trade my Toyota in for an Audi Quatro while I'm at it

22nd June 2010, 12:43 PM #12 I think the very poor will be OK, it isn't seen as politically acceptable to increase the burden on them. The Tories won't go for the very rich, as they are the major donors... Which leaves us in the middle. Find a barrel, drop your trousers and bend over!

22nd June 2010, 12:51 PM #14 I wish people would get over themselves, labours policy of buy now pay later has led the country to ruin, action needs to be taken, and now, do you want to end up like greece?

22nd June 2010, 12:52 PM #15 Well, it seems their first idea is 'sell whatever we haven't sold already'. Namely the Tote, HS1, private finance for Royal Mail, and the student loan book.
So, a quick influx of money, but a long term drag IMO.
