Thank you Stevie D, with you on most of that.

On "elitism" though, I believe that some people have indeed had it better than others and that's just tough, life's like that, we can't all be equals.

However for our leftie friends, a few thoughts on how to reduce the tax burden.
Reintroduce secondary modern schools and reduce the compulsory leaving age to 15. Sec Mod kids, who just cause havoc in schools anyway, can learn a trade and leave at 15 to work on building sites etc.
With money saved on education, reduce income tax.


There are far too many new hospitals being built. Transfer their ownership to the private sector. With money saved that Blair spends on running new hospitals, reduce income tax.

With reductions on income tax comes choice.

Many people will choose to educate their children in the independent sector therefore less money needed for state schools, then more income tax reductions possible.

Many people will choose private health insurance and thus less money needed for the NHS. Reduce income tax.

All that is required is a relentless assault on public spending and a redistribution of the money saved into the pockets of joe public.

Life will be transformed. Now we need a decent leader with the will to push forward and not get embroiled in nannying people who just want to scrounge off the state - leave these to labouring party!
