Subject: RE: PEL, BBC Radio 4 'Law in Action' on Fri
Seeing as the Bill was rubber stamped last night, what use is it going to be. Our only, and in truth very vain hope, is that the Government will notice that the take up of PEL's has not increased as they thought it would, and they will then re-visit and re-assess. How many Governments in the past have promised that? Income Tax was brought in as a stop-gap measure, and that was going to be re-visited. Why oh why do they continually lie to us? Because they can and believe we are totally gullible - what's more we are. Who the hell can we vote for next time - sorry but I remember Thatcher, and Major. Now I'm forced to put Blair in with them too. What brave new world?
