Well, that's the point: this effectively brings more and more of the economy into the public sector. That way it can be run for the public good rather than for the profit of the few.

Go and have a nice chat with AtW about how he found that sort of thing.

No, let's have the election. It will be so satisfying to see the Tories wail, knowing that the people could have had them but rejected them.

Well I think you should really wait for the election before crowing !

Why are we wasting time with this election? Let's just get on with the glorious revolution comrade.

Champagne and caviar over keyboard moment there. Thank-you.

good idea; if we employ shed loads of people in the NHS, civil service, etc, then we'll have loads more tax/NI revenue. That'll solve the budget deficit.

It makes sense because it's proper accounting.

Sorry Tarq, but new LAbour maths is bottom of the class.

Or, so Labour can say they've increased (or not cut) NHS spending, whilst actually ensuring there's less money in the NHS by taxing them more.

Better than yours obviously!

Making government departments pay the treasury more in tax out of their budgets that comes from the treasury makes sense how?

You do know, don't you, that NICs are just thrown into the pot with all the rest of the taxes?
