"Government changes mind" shock

[JohnD]

"The chancellor has given a major hint that he is no fan of the 2015 Tory manifesto pledge not to raise income tax, national insurance or VAT."

There are hard times just around the corner.

I wonder what's changed?

"All chancellors would prefer to have more flexibility in how they manage the economy and how they manage the overall tax burden down [rather] than having to have their hands constrained."

Wonder when the ink will be dry on that manifesto?

spongers

Spongers, you say?

Like the boss of the Daily Wail, Viscount Harmsorth, who was born, brought up and educated in the UK, has his business here, selling to UK customers and making its money here, and owns a mansion and country estate here, but is not a UK taxpayer.

Or like the rabid anti-EU editor of the Daily Wail, who pockets a huge EU subsidy because he is owns a country estate.

Or like these jolly fellows

No shortage of spongers here.

Which are the ones you wanted to concentrate on?

I am well aware of tax avoidance /dodging . they can be put under the heading of spongers as well
