:lol: I'm beginning to think Parthiban's just a cover name, and we have David Cameron as an Outlaw, the way nothing can be the fault of the tories ever and everything wrong in the world can be laid at Gordon Brown's feet..... :lol:

So far
VAT rises to 20% from January 2011
Income tax band raises by £1,000 to £7,454 - this is good!!!
Child benefits for those earning over £40k a year reduced - this is good also!! (im sorry but if you can bring over £40k into a household and end up relying on tax credits for the up-keep of a child then your idiot, although i do understand in some unfortunate cases this is un-avoidable)
Public Sector pay freezes on earners over £21k - my mate aint best pleased, but hes a lazy sod anyway
many mroe but not critical to joe public really

Have to admit it's nowhere near as aggressive as I expected - it seems to be based more on public spending cuts rather than raised taxes (complete opposite to Labour). Yes other than VAT it's all positive for the general public - and even VAT won't be a big burden if you're not a massive spender. And as much as Labour may argue we all knew that whoever came into office VAT was going up, at least this way we haven't got a million other stealth taxes to go with it.
Also think it's great that housing benefit is capped at £400 a week - that should be plenty to get a reasonable home anywhere other than the most expensive parts of the country. I was confused by a comment on the BBC site by a member of the public though, who said that you couldn't rent a property for that much and millions will be homeless.........how much do houses rent for in your areas? In my area in North London (which isn't a cheap place) you can get quite a nice 4 bed home for £1500 a month........Is there any truth to it or is it just another example of the sort of moron who votes labour? :tongue_smilie:
