Over 70% of the price of petrol in the UK is tax and sales tax as you yanks call it. And then the nice government take 40% of our wages....its just brilliant.

The sainted Gordon takes about half our income in one way or another and then spends a great of that telling us how to spend the other half.

We should be grateful that our beloved leader takes such an interest in us.
