Gahh! I wish I could kick his teeth through his smug head (Hammond that is). Why didn't he just leave the marginal band where it was last year? He's tinkering around (no doubt helped by advisors fresh out of uni with an axe to grind against "The Rich" because they have no desire or capability to take risk) and running out of ideas.
Meanwhile the UK gives away billions in foreign aid. Pakistan at the top of the list. You should see the size of the Pakistan air force - is that where our money is going? I see from my latest council tax breakdown that 32% goes to welfare. Eh?
Caffe Nero hasn't paid CT in years because it transfers profits to a parent company that runs an overall loss.
Phil, put this in yer Tory manifesto and impress me:
1. We will grow some balls to go after big business;
2. We will clamp down on welfare abuse;
3. We will leave direct taxation alone and give SMEs a break (at least until 2020);
4. I won't flip-flop any more and I'll hire some better advisors;
5. I'll drop the "fairness" bulltulip cos I know nobody's buying;
6. I'll get a more modern haircut.
That'll do for me. Going for a sit-down and nice cup of tea."My God, it's huge!!"Comment

"The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there just to scare the tulip out of the middle class. Keep 'em showin' up at those jobs."You're awesome! Get yourself a t-shirt.Comment
