| Bleeding Us Dry
Do you remember when Alistair Darling saved the universe? Of course you do. A year ago he slashed VAT by a massive 2.5% thus preventing recession and saving everyone's jobs. On the same day he increased duty on wine by the same amount for a £5.00 bottle. What a guy! Thank heavens he saved everyone's livelihoods. I wrote to him at the time to congratulate his genius tendencies. I also asked some simple questions. I received no reply. VAT increased back to 17.5% on Jan 1. Poor old Alistair forgot to reduce the duty though. I will drop him a line to remind him. As he sucks you and me dry I don't suppose a glass of wine instead would cross his mind. Why would he give a damn? |
