I am really worried about what this socialist a**hole is going to do to our economy, the country and my bank balance.

Re: New PM

Bliar was good till he got a taste of power and bang that was the end of good bliar in came "i will set the world right" bliar. What bothers me is we will now get the usual guff about new beginnings and new ideas and all the other bs when a leader is changed.

Remember though that brown has been there the whole time going along allocating extra money to continue fighting wars. This man is no carer and sharer he is the git that has robbed many people's pensions even after being told by advisors that he would lower the money that many people would get when they retired very caring and sharing.

As for his new priorities well lets wait and see but after ten years of his stealth taxes and underhand money grabs i shudder to think what he is turning his attention to now.

well said rizzyking hopefully labour wont be any more after the elections but what then?
best thing we should do is vote liberal democracts theyve never been in power from the best of my knowledge and should be tryed instead of the labour/conservatives bull**** we putup with every election.

Re: New PM

I doubt there will be a quick election - Brown has already setup tax band changes which come into force next April - sweeteners for middle england.

I said it was the fact they had to go to the Queen that I found cool Not that I agree with the term Parasite anyway, I am kind of hopeful that Brown will do something. He needs to win a election soon and even if he does he will likely lose the next one so he is bound to want to make some progress fast. Not to mention he wont have the problem with getting funds that Blair did.

I like elections more though, All day people vote and then overnight the political landscape changes as more and more results come in, So the next morning people wake to a slightly different country Something cool about the process and the fact it concludes while people are sleeping.

As for the NHS is should be one of the best funded Health Services in the World, We all need to use it as some point and when your ill you want the best, fastest service you can get. Every government should have Health and Education at the top of their agenda, I agree that it needs to be managed better and I like the Torys idea of a board in charge of it (i also think the same should happen in Education) but its got better and its failures are not all down to waste. It still needs more funding. This is a health system for the entire country that is free, it should be expensive.

The Chancellor announced the following changes:
  • removing the starting rate and cutting the basic rate of income tax from 22% to 20% in April 2008, creating a simpler structure of two rates: a 20% basic rate and a 40% higher rate;
  • increasing the upper earnings limit for national insurance by £75 a week above indexation in April 2008 and, from April 2009, fully aligning it with the higher rate threshold - the point at which taxpayers start to pay the higher rate of income tax, further simplifying the system;
  • raising the aligned higher rate threshold and upper earnings limit by £800 a year above indexation in April 2009
Note the 10% starting rate will be removed...
