GORDON BROWN is about to raise Britain’s tax burden to its highest-ever level, raking in nearly £1m a minute.

You must be mistaken. From the same article:

The Treasury dismissed the report, saying the average household is £950 per year better off in real terms than they were in 1997.

A spokesman said: "According to the independent Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the net tax burden on the average working family in the UK has been halved since this Government came to power."

"ONE in five Britons — nearly 10m adults — is considering leaving the country amid growing disillusionment over the failure of political parties to deliver tax cuts, according to a new poll. ",


Last one, switch out the light.

Milan.

I don't even remember what umbrella companies charge, £14-£25 a week + tax upto %40. If I get enough to buy a castle in scotland and a buggatti veyron, then I will stay. If I am going to die in a council flat living here, I will move to france and join foreign legion. End of story.

So let's all go abroad. But where?

The article relates to March this year.

If the work was offshored, there would be no need to travel, and the UK would cut down on emissions.

Sounds like a win-win situation.

But then again nobody is forcing us to drive, wasnt there a thread about UK rising levels of obesity ... if we were to walk more then wouldnt that save our money and health?

Well Alf, nobody is forcing us to drive, but if we want to work it is difficult not to.

It's 45 miles each way from Edlesborough to Reading, which is a 12 hour walk each way at a reasonable lick.

Alternatively, I could use the train, which is only 2.5 to 3 hours each way. That is feasible, but that I've got a life.

Aye W
The Chinese say that if one walks for half an hour each day then that is all the execise body requires...

Actually quite a few of them travel thousands of miles to the UK. No wonder they are so fit....

[AlfredJPruffock]

Abolish all other taxation except income tax, set it at 25% across the board not low or high rate, corporation tax would be 10% and ir35 banished.

Aye D

Apparently the Government think tank is moving towards the abolition of all forms of Taxation, as per the draft of IR666.

Now the bad news,with the abolition of Taxation comes the abolition of all Personal Property and money which will become the property of the State.

But another plus is that we shall all have imbedded microchips as part of the anti terror strategy.

We cant be too careful these days ....

[AlfredJPruffock]

The UK is doing it with stealth taxes. Is our fuel still the most expensive in Europe?

Aye W

Maybe.

Depends if your car's a diesel or not. On the petrol front the UK is actually cheaper than some at the moment.
