You can argue all you like about high taxes but the real problem isn’t so much about taxes but how they are spent by a government still hanging onto Bush’s coat tails and pretending to be a world power.

This country is overloaded with Quangos pushing bits of paper around. Computer systems that cost billions that still do not work. Private Initiative schemes to build hospitals, schools, prisons etc where this country is committed to paying outrageous leasing fees for the next 30 years. £100 and more to fit a simple mains plug is money that has to come from patient care and into the pocket of a private company. Millions upon millions to the various railway companies that goes straight to the shareholders as dividends.

Millions up millions spent on supplying the police with vehicle number plate recognition equipment to catch tax and insurance dodgers when a simple extra tax on fuel would do that at a stroke for virtually no cost at all and release the police for proper duties.

I haven’t even mentioned the billions that two illegal wars are costing us not forgetting to mention the lives of our troops. We don’t need a nuclear deterrent – we couldn’t use it independently anyway. If it ever came to a nuclear exchange we would be vapourised long before we could launch one single missile. So what is the point?

If the UK were a company UK Ltd., the receivers would have been in years ago.

A company is bankrupt when its expenditure exceeds its income. UK Ltd is bankrupt by business standards.
