You are not confused..the impression of a kid deciding his future is a Tory politician is wel known so don't give us the "lost soul" stuff .. the rates for business were set to 5% but have been cut down to 2% because of the recent problems within the "selling" sector... business rates are not set on a yearly basis ...and this or any goverment will set rates according to inflation..they have cut the rate..so whats yer gripe?
