Erm perhaps not. 20% VAT rate is here to stay. Apparently.

George Osborne hints he would lower income tax before cutting VAT - Telegraph

The Chancellor said he considered the new 20 per cent VAT rate “permanent” and refused to say it would come down once the economy recovers and the deficit paid down.

Oh, the 20% VAT rate is a price worth paying apparently, Yes, just like 4 million unemployed was a price worth paying, wasnt it lamont?

It's very rare I actually have an opinion, but this time I do and the OP has got my gander up a little I'm afraid.

The country is in uncomprehensible amounts of debt. Just as if you had a lot of credit cards to pay off, you would have to try and cut your cloth to fit. The previous tossers pissed away all our money knowing that they would not ever be voted in again, in what to my mind was wreckless and essentially treason (or crimes against the state, whichever, I'd hang the ****ers anyway).

This economy is totally ****ed, and any measures to try and fix it get my backing. Granted now beer is over £3 a pint I will visit the pub less. Basics cost more so I will have to cut back on luxuries. Tough tulip, seriously. JFDI

Previous generations actually HAD to struggle. I hate this generation of moaning, whinging, "oooh look my kids got ADHD", "I need my own psychiatrist", "my garden is posher than your garden", have a bunch of kids and ponce off the state, asbo ridden, spoilt little bastards that call themselves hoodies and think they are owed respect because they carry knives, effette arseholes.

We are in debt. We need to pay this down. It will be tough, it's supposed to be. No one made people borrow 70 times their salary to buy a 7 bedroom mansion, we have been greedy. Time to pay the piper, so let's get on with it.

No offence like,

And you probably wish you did not need to pay that and other indirect taxes by registering with some "clever" offshore scheme?

I'm actually increasing my supply of the above mentioned just to help pay the deficit back (hopefully in time for the NHS to look after my tobacco related disease ridden corpulent body)

Sir, you are a real patriot!

I'm getting confused, whose turn is it to use the 'Tax Bombshell' billboard posters?
