We have the chance to cut bills, end the sewage scandal and stop the rampant profiteering. But instead it's more half-measures, and kicking the issue into the long grass.

If people don't want to pay tax to make this country function and help out the rest of society and particularly those who need help most... then maybe they should move to Dubai and stop bleating about it. Really sick to death of it.

Raise the thresholds and tax more at the top, it's not difficult, another 2% on the higher rate would hardly impact those who pay it. But then I'm not an economist.

Outstandingly dishonest even by Nigel Farage's standards. Farage knows that the men arrested at Fairford would not have been released if they were still suspected to be terrorists. He's stirring up fear, hatred & resentment against both immigrants & the police. Pure malice.

The Economist speculates that the men arrested at RAF Fairford might be nothing more sinister than fuel thieves. If that's true, those who rushed to blame the IRGC, Russia, Islamists, pro-Palestine activists, asylum seekers or Mossad will have a lot of egg on their faces.
