Blinkers working well I see Richard.
Low paid workers exempt from pay freeze.
Higher tax rate of 50 p in the pound to remain.
one year longer to work (which doesn't take any money away, rather the reverse, though the difference is small).
Stack that up against
Ten p in the pound tax band abolished
Attempting to put that right, a policy which doesn't re-imburse anybody earning less than twelve thousand, but gives a tax break to everybody else right up to fifty thou.
Which of these is Cameron policy (planned), and which is Brown policy (already implemented)
Which of those is benefitting the rich, and which is screwing the poor?.......Brown is the answer to both.
A propos of that increase of one year before pension, there are many, myself included, who would have liked to work on for a lot more than one year, but Mr Brown wimped out on age discrimination law, so WE don't get the choice, notwithstanding the fact that it would help the economy if we WERE working.
