Tax system is fundamentally unfair
It is good news that people with low incomes may get back some of what they lost with the abolition of the 10p tax rate.
It is important to note that this was just icing on the already unfair tax system.
Many of the very rich pay no tax through use of tax havens and non-domicile scams.
The highest rate of tax falls on the 10th of the population with the least income.
The 10th with the highest income pay at about the average rate. This unfairness is the result of the policies of Conservatives and New Labour over the past 30 years.

The Labour Govt have demonstrated a willingness to dump all over the working classes, pensioners, low paid etc whilst letting the rich get off scot-free.
They walked away from a plan to raise £30,000 in tax a year from millionaires after repeated and empty threats from them to leave the UK if they had to pay what amounted to a paltry sum. They justified this spineless response by saying it was because we need their money to be used for wealth creation.
At the same time as they backed down they came up with the wheeze that low income families should be penalised for daring to own vehicles.
All in all, the Blair Brown axis of lies has bankrupted this country, put its services at risk, hammeres the majority of honest hard working families and all for the sake of lining the pockets of the rich parasites who come to the UK to increase their wealth at the expense of everyone else.

They are uncivilised tribes,maybe gassing them is the thing to do.
Maybe Winston was right but didnt know where to apply his insight.
An hereditary affliction no doubt.
You never hear of outrage at the Winston plan.
