Maybe the answer is to nationalise everything again and increase income tax to the 33% level that was in force when they were in national ownership before.

Wasn't VAT just 8% in those days grandad? 8)

Not to mention the plethora of stealth taxes introduced to cover the reduced take from income tax?

The VAT on petrol was 25% in 1974-76 thanks to the very fine labour government.

It seems that some can and probably always will.

As I said earlier, greedy or stupid. Some a bit of both.

After David Cameron tried to blame Labour for "Green Levies" it was revealed that the majority of Green Levies on domestic fuel were actually added by David Cameron's own government.

Perhaps David Cameron's next strategy will be to start blaming Labour for the fact that VAT is charged on domestic fuel and electricity.

No, I am saying that the Labour Government increased VAT on petrol from 12.5% to 25% in 1974.
