On a point of order, and whilst I categorically don't agree with the VED increases, this isn't any more "retrospective" than when any other government has increased VED.Comment

I am sure that you would never disagree with taxes being raised and then raised again. Personally, I would rather HMG start using the taxes they already get in a far more efficient manner. Currently ALL income tax goes to support welfare and benefits of approximately 160 Billion pounds!!
Just stopping all benefits and making people reapply in person would save Billions as entitlement is checked thoroughly and mass fraud weeded out. They did that in Germany (HERTZ IV in 2005) whilst cutting the amount paid and I would love to see it happen here!! New Lie OUT !!!!Comment

Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

....but at least we would find out how many 'dead' claimants there are.Comment

The number of benefit claimants is a red-herring. What we need to do is cut the number of government 'workers'.How did this happen? Who's to blame?
