Tax woes

[cheekbones3]

It appears that as of today I'm paying about £200 per year less in income tax, offset slightly by NI contributions. I want to pay more you bastards!

Sometimes it's pretty tempting to move to Sweden to get something approaching sensible public finances.

Tell me about it. People look at you like you're mad when you say you wouldn't mind paying more tax to make sure all the hospitals and roads and schools etc. are top notch.

Aye, imagine that.

It's not like I need a couple of hundred quid, but there are many other things that could do with it very much.

Think of a number, donate it to charities that work in the same area as the public services you want to spend more on. Easy peasy.

A very good idea!

I saw you in the cinema and waved, also saw you on Princes Street. Not stalking you. Honest.

But I didn't see you! Are you wearing your cloak of invisiblity?!

Apparently so! Mind you, I was on a bus on Princes Street, so that can be excused.

Have you seen that Ministry are playing Glasgow in a few weeks?

Not sure about that, there are at least two new ones since the last gig that I know of however. I'll look into it...
