When Merton is on form it is pure comedy gold.
"I had a pasty once, very nice it was.", said Cameron, as his nose sprouted a tea bush and snapped off.
Knowing the people Ian riles up, he's probably safer in regular class.
Want to avoid the hot pasty tax? Go to Greggs - every “hot” thing I’ve ever ordered from there invariably turned out to be stone cold!
The first VAT of the 20th century was first introduced as a temporary measure in the UK during WWI and it was introduced as an emergency (temporary) measure by the government at the time to subsidize the war effort. However, subsequent governments were always going to be reluctant to relinquish this profitable income. This idea spread to other governments and economies - and eventually it has become accepted as the norm.
Yep, and it should be abolished - it’s a massively regressive form of tax across so many everyday things that hits the lowest earners the worst. And then businesses even get to claim it back which really takes the biscuit!
thanks for posting
lol at the rebate
Agreed.
Shoe lace Tax. Tied, regular rate as it's serving a purpose in keeping footwear secured to the foot. Untied, an extra 20% as it's purely a fashion accessory serving no purpose what so ever. Talk about nickel and diming your tax payers to death. I feel anything for a penny " Beancounters " are now the most abhorrent level of human being displacing ambulance chasing lawyers by a country mile.
I'd forgotten the pasty tax debacle. They abandoned the notion as it was losing them support, and they were being heavily mocked. Don't remember what promoted them to come up with it in the first place, but it wouldn't have sat well with the later, and equally abandoned levelling up agenda.
Adam Curtis's Hypernormalisation touches on the way the Coalition Govt used U-turns in a tactical manner. If you have 20 pieces of legislation, where 15 of them are highly unpopular but you are compelled to pass them, then throw in something silly that will grab headlines for a while before reversing the decision. It makes people feel as if they have had an impact - the illusion of democracy - and the media gets the red meat they need to chew on for a few days. Meanwhile, no one's really paying attention to what actually matters: the other 15 pieces of legislation that are vastly more important than minor tax adjustments on fast food.
I just think it's right for there not to be double standards in the system. It's been taken completely out of context.
Back when this was the biggest scandal to come out of a budget statement, those were the days...
It wasn't, it's just that you're (perhaps) more aware of the kayfabe that is parliamentary 'democratic' politics.
i agree mate. trouble is, in my view, they're all puppets to a mediocre media. all the parties are opportunistic. :(
Pasty must mean something different in Britain
the top rate tax cut was basically media driven. i admit i favour labour when i vote, but i also realize we are in debt. 400 billion of which we "lent" to the markets. but the govt is trying to do what they did in the 80's and is just getting more in debt. we don't have the oil anymore. the budget was also pathetic. Osbourne closed about 5% of the tax loophole traffic. the tax office let off coporations to the tune of about £30 billion in the last 3 years. and on it goes...
I know this is an old comment, but there are better ways to raise tax than to have regressive taxes which affect the lowest income households the most like VAT does.
They should put Miles on the same team as an...
The only reason this VAT tax is being put in place is because hot food elsewhere is charged VAT and they are dealing with that anomaly. Labour (hypocrites) try and seize the moment by claiming the government is "out of touch".
Please keep you right wing bias to yourself, this was about comedy.
the last conservative govt and the last labour govt both looked into taxing pasties. both concluded that it was unworkable for the reasons in the vid. as for labour "hypocrites", i think you'll find they all are.
But how can you tax donations, as soon as they start doing that for the church they will do that to charities, if the church get away with not paying tax on things they sell then that is wrong but as soon as donations in the church start getting taxed the charities will end up suffering. The church over here doesnt seem to be as in your face as the US version is and the only time I see things about the UK church in the news is when people steal the copper roofing off the churches.
Please forward all comments to Richard Dawkins.
It's enough to make you want to go out and punch anybody really, is it not? Yobs, chav's, politicians, anybody who is rich, or perhaps people that just gets on your nerves. Where is life going I ask myself.................................. :-)
