VAT at 25%, the highest level that it has ever been, was under a Labour government.

That was then though, now they have the economy on an even keel. I feel so sorry for all of those people that have mortgages, if the Tory's get in I can see so many repossessions when people are put out of work and interest rates go up.
Especially all those Michael want to sack from the public services (as waste) can't see them keeping up with their repayments.

I take it you weren't brought up in house where your father couldn't get a job for 8 years and then when he did it wasn't enough to pay the mortgage, even with my mother working nights. If you want to go back there then thats great but please don't drag the rest of us there.
