    sas is 50% deficient of the required amount of wit needed to qualify as a halfwit.

    You're right. Caravans should not be taxed. They should instead be attacked by special hit squads of taliban trained rpg operatives hidden behind signposts.

    I got 2 +ve rep for this post.

    Seems the best way of getting rep is to insult agents. Though insulting sas also does well. Maybe I could pretend sas was an agent and double up?

    Bollocks - we just moved to bigger office which is wall split from half the floor kind of office and business rates idiots want to invoice us for whole floor despite us warning that we move into that place 2 months ago and asking to revalue it.

    And guess their SLA on responding to emails - 14 days, still got no answer for email sent in early June

    Sack the whole lot and abolish business rates even if that involves increasing corp tax.

    You need to send a snail mail registered post letter to the person's manager.

    Then if he ignores it go to the local paper saying that if you could get your business rates lower you could use it to employ people.

    Then employ a cleaner for 2 hours a week.

    To be fair to Osborne he should be cutting public sector workers and he should be reducing taxes and encouraging growth activity (sorry lefties growth does not come from borrowing and spending on public sector workers). He has the small matter of having to deal with the fact that they are partnered with a bunch of lefty liberals

    He keeps spending too much money even though his mandate was to cut the spending:

    "While tax revenues increased in the month by 3.6pc to £40.9bn, total Government spending only dipped by less than 1pc to £52.4bn."

    WTF is he spending all this money on?!?! ...
    .. aaand he's off again
