THE BRITISH GOVERMENT
Taxed to the hilt i went home to my homeland recently and enjoyed my one week stay,discovering many changes over the past 5 years.
For many years i have understood the way we work for the goverment and how the goverment are forever bring in new measures to take that hard earned cash from out of our pockets,why are we so layed back when new measures are introduced to releave us of our money,im sure most other countrys would have had civil war on there hands if this was the case there.
20 years ago they were making £18,0000 a day on tobaco revenue
they banned smoking now in public places and im sure they have lost considerable amount of revenue there although the prices hace risen considerably since then so maybe lost no revenue.
when are the brits going to stand up against the goverment back home and say enough is enough tax tax tax

[lyso]

Forgive thee o lord
For i shall not tax my people any more
On second thought, i can get away with it
So i shall.
Cypriot proverb
I am following suit.

The Brits put up with it cause its the norm. Paying thousands every year to keep the likes of Mrs Windsor and her hangers on and saying "we are proud to be British" What a load of old bo***ks.

Anyway I really dont care anymore as I dont live there thank God
