* police
* basic education with limited number of funded university places
* basic bare essential health care
* soup kitchens in time of recession
Income tax set to around 12p/£ flat, first £10K free. Scrap NI and everything else.Comment

The 15K figure says a lot more about what the govt. thinks of its citizens.
i.e., be a good boy/girl, earn your 15K, pay us loads of tax and dont get above your station. A decent standard of living should be reserved strictly for MPs.'Orwell's 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not an instruction manual'. -

Germans vs Brits
Originally posted by darmstadt View Post
The Brits all see themselves as Working class,Middle class or Upper class
Southerners or Northerners
The Upper classes earns all the money and the other classes can go to hell
The Southerners think that the lazy Northerners should go down South to look for work as there is no way that the Upper classes are going create jobs up there.Comment
