Given that New Labour do not appear to have any real answers to the current crises, it could be that the stealth tax news has been leaked deliberately by Labour to avoid being re-elected.

We all know that there are insufficient monies in the nation's coffers so it's inevitable that prices and taxes will rise as will unemployment as companies struggle to survive in the adverse market conditions.

I was surprised that the government did not make a modest increase in tax immediately the crunch started rather than leaving it until later and inposing a more draconian rate, then again, as we all now know, proactive strategic planning is not one of New Labour's strengths.

Rather sad and pathetic, really, that only a government spending Taxpayers' money could not come up with simple but effective solutions which the ordinary person on the street would think up quite quickly.

Roll on the general election and let's find some MPs with the brains, honesty and integrity to solve the nation's problems.
