I find it interesting that governments come out with all these money-raising ideas but :-

a) still want a large increase in pay and pensions for MPs and MEPs

b) never consider using methods to actually reduce costs

c) waste money available through the National Lottery

d) waste tax-payers money on ill considered schemes e.g.the Dome

We could have better services at a cheaper cost with everybody paying less tax and charges if only governments would forget political dogma and correctness and use some common sense.

The way things are going more and more money will be wasted and more and more money will be demanded. It's time to break that process that takes you to the bankruptcy court and for governments to start planning more effectively to meet society's needs and not their own.
