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.

I will be one of those affected by the uturn (but not by much) i firmly believe those who earn more should pay more to support those who need it most

the reversal of the 5% won't impact my quality of living whatsoever, the tex revenue staying the same however might just help others.
