If the Financial Transactions Tax is brought in the UK companies will pay 70% of the total raised in 27 countries! It was aimed at London by the Germans and French.
What would the companies do? They'd get out of the UK to Singapore,USA etc. What would we do without that 11% tax? More cuts, more job losses,more taxes? That would affect everyone!

Yes Gordon....I was listening too....through gritted teeth(well, no through my ears, but my teeth were gritted).....and yes they would leave us pronto. I truly think that is what the EU
want to do....drop us in the brown smelly stuff that stains your clothes.
I actually don't care that they are giving DC the cold shoulder....now let's hope his own team give him some hot tongue when he gets back and we get a say in what goes on.
