Looks as though Taxes will be going up to improve the NHS....
Looks like it will either come from VAT going up to 20% or from National Insurance rates being changed...
Just as long he doesnt increase petrol prices!
What you all think?

Labour's got it all wrong. Throwing money at the NHS problem isn't going to solve anything. It's already getting way more than it used to 10 years ago, and it was much better then. The problem is all the government red tape and political correctness that's slowing the whole process down.

What I can't understand is why the government decided it would be a good idea investing millions of pounds of our money in the millenium dome. The biggest waste of money ever. The amount of money they pumped into that failed progect may not have completely solved the NHS problem, but it would have helped allot. Now it seems we pay again for their misjudgement.
Yeah, but chances are that I'll end up paying more tax, and that sucks.
Apparently petrol will stay the same for a while, beer may go down 10p a pint (yeah, like we'll actually see that happen at the pump!). Not sure abotu ciggies though.
At least, that's what they reckoned on the radio this morning.
If taxes do go up to pay for th eNHS, I won't be complaining.
It's about time someone said "Yes, the NHS is crap, and we need to do something about it." Instead of putting more money into it, and taking money from somewhere else, which never works. Ever.
