    The real ironic thing is that the people they redistribute from are anything but wealthy - 40% tax payers are not just banker types, but nurses, teachers, tube drivers

      I remember in the early 90s earning in the top 10% I felt well off, now I'm just coasting by they just keep finding new taxes.
      Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

        Look at all the data together

        - VAT at 20% is ridiculously high
        - Council tax is getting artificially inflated due to rising house prices (which is another con)
        - Rise in Insurance premium tax on Home and driving insurance (which will cover pretty everyone in the universe)
        - Increase to minimum wage which will increase childcare costs and other things
        - Tax cuts for landlords will make rents even higher
        - Parking charges to park your car outside your own house!
        - Increase in price for BT and Sky because they f** overpaid for those football matches which no one cares

        You will easily feel poorer with a child even if you are on circa £350 per day.

          Tax boomers more, simples. They clearly have more money:

            And it's all under Tory Govt - imagine how good it will be under Komrade Korbyn!

                Do you ever take the train?

                If you do you will realise a minimum of 2 times a week on your way home your journey will triple in time due to delays.

                Also every January the fares go up and for that you get the pleasure of standing in the corridor.

                  There will - I fear - one day be a big train accident with it full to the gunnels. The devastation it will result in will finally ban this practice.

                    Become a train driver!!!

                    Lovely union, no overcrowding in your room, fares go up every year to give you pay increases, if train is delayed then you get paid overtime etc...

                      You can't drink.

                      And knowing my luck instead of getting a 125 I would get to drive a 2 carriage converted bus.
