Easy to say what he does because he knows he'll never get elected and have to deliver on it all.

But at least he has the bollocks to say he'd put up taxes etc to pay for things.

Too many people think that the country has pots and pots of cash for which to pay for everything and its nothing to do with taxing the population.

So if you want proper public services the money has to come from somewhere and that is tax in one form or another.

The public have demanded lower taxes, so income tax has come down, but it has to be raised in other ways, hence all these so called 'stealth' taxes.


personally I think they should legalise cannabis in the same was as it is in Amsterdam, tax it and control it and do the same with prostitution, legalise, control and tax it.

Soon get rid of the defecit.
