Actually I'd just put the power with the IT folk and not with managers - that's the problem with every government IT initiative though. It's run by managers who don't fully grasp what they're aiming for.
My experience of them anyway!

government finding new ways to tax me more. nothing new here, move a long.
on of these days i just want the budget to read:
VAT Abolished
Income tax reduced to 5%
council tax abolish
pointless anyway, the government can never pay back the debt to the BOE as there is not enough money in the system to pay it back as they get the money from the BOE in the first place. Stupid skam.

I wasn't terribly impressed. Yes, he put a grand ranting attack together, and it was fun to watch and all but wasn't this the same man who promised "an end to Punch and Judy politics"? It was all sound and fury with precious little content.

That's pretty much how I see all politicians at the moment, it's kids arguing in the playground. Not impressed.
They should be cutting spending though, it's daft not to.
Hopefully he will continue like this until polling day.
You say that, but look at the graph. Today's fall came before the budget was announced. It's stayed pretty steady during and after the Chancellor was speaking.
What justification is there for paying a higher rate of tax on alcohol?
Alcohol is responsible for increased policing and health costs.
NHS costs, police costs, social care costs, etc. There are plenty if you bother to look.

but they run a 160 billion deficit, what is a 1% tax on alcohol going to make any difference ?
it is just a way to socially control the population via taxation, which is wrong.

No, alcohol is NOT responsible for that.
Problems within the society are responsible for that.
Me, and my friends, have never required any policing or health care due to drinking relatively responsibly.
It is the same as gun laws, the cause of murder are not the guns but the people/society - you need to tackle that rather than just penalising the people who do no harm.
Irrational claptrap.

At least Scotland has the ability to do it right.
I also agree with the non proliferation of Nuclear powerstations and waste.

so you admit it is social control by means of taxation, which is wrong.
