    But mostly they don't pay road tax, nor are they required to hold insurances. In any event, public sector employees are employees, not the government, for the sake of the hard of understanding, they are not THE government.

      RBS probably do or at least they would do if they were profitable.

      There's a fairly obvious reason why the gov would want to charge itself land rent on the land it utilises and that is so the true costs of its operation are reflected.

        Yes, because all governments want to do that don't they?

          They should.

          What's your point anyway?

            Robby, what is your health economics analysis of scrapping all alcohol and tobacco duty?

                I believe in private healthcare. So if you drink your liver to death, then you'll be paying for it yourself.

                  Robby, how are you going to distribute licences for things like 3G / 4G / TV broadcasting.

                  Remember, you have scrapped royalties for these as a form of state income.

                      But what is your health economics analysis in terms of impact on national productivity?

                      What will you do with NHS hospitals. Give them away? Remember you can't sell them, because you've scrapped all other forms of state income. No more privatisations.
