Retailers

[Dicky Ticker]

Can you mention any retailer of day to day items who is prepared to pass on the so called tax cuts. I think these changes aren't for Joe public but to make it easier for the traders to continue in business a little longer.
Am I wrong or have they said they will reduce the VAT on beer tobacco and fuel but increase the tax?:confused:

Give with one hand and take with the other. I'm not surprised.

Bravo Labour. Massively increase our government debt to borrow our way out of a recession caused by borrowing. Talk about digging yourself out of a hole. FFS.

I've been getting my usual dose of chronic 'wander-lust' again today, seriously been thinking of jacking in the lot, buying a tourer and F*&%'ing off until I run out of money (that unfortunately won't take long...)

The day I FINALLY clear my student debts will be an interesting one, as the ties keeping me here/in my current job will be lessened considerably.

Matts never stopped wanting to buuger orf somewhere else. I've never been overly keen, but lately I seem to be warming to the idea very much
