    It was actually on the BBc model b (and Acorn Electron) but I think Spectrum Basic was pretty similar.

    That's the real problem - Cons decided to move to "center ground", so they are now taxing worse than previous New Liebor Govt, which in retrospect looks fantastic pro-business forward looking party.

    Generally agree about this lot of Tories, but bear in mind Corbyn/Miliband etc. aren't Blair & co, and so will probably be far worse than even CMD and Gideon. Which isn't encouraging. Frankly, I don't expect much different out of the these two parties, not even if Boris substitutes CMD.

    It's not all about tax rises. Today they outlined all the "cuts" they will be making.

    Cuts to subsidies "paid" to landlords (offsetting repairs against tax) - cuts to inheritance tax "benefits".

    Basically, everything less than humongous tax is now viewed as a subsidy - a gift from the government - and they are cutting that subsidy.

    They might be leftie nutters and fruitcakes, but there are learning how to sell that message.
