""Don, you know as well as I do that the taxes that rose were not those that had been promised not to rise.""

Tell that fairy tale to the pensioners who thought Tony B Liar was a GOD, when he gave them a £5 per week increase, only to realise three months down the line that he had taken £4.50 of it back in hidden taxes.

It matters little to those on a fixed income which tax went up. They still had to pay it.
