    No party should be allowed to field candidates unless there is a published tax checklist of what they will increase/decrease and by how much, they can cut lower, but any attempt to increase taxation should be met with long jail sentences.

    Let me quote the late George Carlin:

    "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."

    Well, I glossed over that one. Coming originally from the mouths of Boris and Gove, that assertion is unsafe.

    Second it's billions in foreign aid. (Getting the e and i the correct way round in foreign only took me five minute. Dam German)

    One day that chicken will come home to roost.

    You're a good few election cycles away from that level of earnings, matey, so don't worry too much.

    That doesn't sound right. Are you sure you don't mean social care?
