As for punishing the working classes who was it who stole our Mortgage Tax Relief, Scrapped our Married persons tax relief, doubled council tax, doubled the cost of fuel and raided our pension schemes, Yup it was Labour and they pissed the lot away.

The economy and society is screwed we face a constant round of ever higher taxes and declining public services, more and more parasites wanting to live of benefits topped off by at least 5 million asylum seekers and illegal immigrants. Until we FORCE people to take responsibility for themselves it will never get better.

Whilst I hate to let inconvenient facts spoil a good frothing rant, let's look at some of those claims.

Mortgage Tax Relief - introduced by Roy Jenkins ( Labour ) to promote house ownership removed by Gordon Brown ( Labour ) when the housing market was getting out of control ( it was fuelling house price inflation by using taxpayers money to pay for excessive mortgages, we know where that lead to).
Married Persons Tax Relief - still exists although under Tory management it now benefits couples earning £150k +. Fuel prices - remember the Fuel Price Escalator ? It was introduced in 1993 by the Tories and scrapped in 2000 by Labour. It's also affected by VAT. Conservative Chancellor Geoffrey Howe increased the standard rate of VAT from 8% to 15%, the rate remained unchanged until 1991, when Conservative Chancellor Norman Lamont increased it from 15% to 17.5%, Conservative Chancellor George Osborne announced that the standard rate of VAT would increase from 17.5% to 20% with effect from 4 January 2011. We agree about Gordon Brown raping the pension funds though, he was a dickhead. Re: Council tax - 8 of the 10 highest rising council tax areas between 1997-2010 were controlled by Tories, the highest rose by over 500%.
