New Labour puts your taxes up from today

Income Tax changes take place today (Sunday 6th April) that eliminate the 10 pence tax band and force you all to pay double tax on this part of your income at the 20 pence rate, seems a straightforward tax rise to us.

Alistair Darling was hoping that by the time this change to the tax system came in no one would notice this iniquitous increase in tax while they call it a reduction.

A perfect example of New Labour 'Newspeak'* where what happens is the opposite to that claimed. Thus this Tax rise was presented in Parliament during the budget as a cut, quite a disgraceful way for this Labour Government to behave.

New Labour, Old Labour makes no difference, we have been abandoned by them. They are not interested in those of us unfortunate enough to live in an area where Labour votes are weighed rather than counted.
They take their voters for granted, confident that they will get elected regardless. The right to change things through the ballot box is a precious right that needs exercising at this years local elections on May 1st.

Use your vote this year rather than sitting at home complaining that things never change. Your vote this year can make a huge difference.

Use your vote in 2008!
