And if you're one of those who may be a bit miffed about this U-turn and the hit to your income then perhaps you should follow the government advice and work harder, or find a better paid job or even take on a second or third (zero hours and/or minimum wage) job to help improve your lot, because after all with trickle down economics the extra money you'll 'earn' will surely help everyone else out too.

Could this lot make us an even bigger laughing stock then we are already? You bet they can and I'd not be surprised if they were already working on what they'll cock-up next.
