Brown said recently,
"So as government takes action, we expect people to play their part in return, with clear consequences for those who do not."
This has a slight echo of the minister saying that applying higher road tax to old cars was not retrospective, because "it has been clear for ten years what direction we were moving in".
-- that means, you do what we want, whether it is the law or not. If you don't co-operate, we will make the law later and apply it to you.
Now in the Queen's speech: lots of proposed bills dropped.
OK, he is clearly freeing up legislative time over the next year, to be able to do some really big moves to get what he wants.
Banks won't lend even when state-owned? National Bank, then. His constituency can't afford to buy houses? Then nationalise the housing stock? A fair society will need fair taxes: that means a LOT higher for those making over 30k. Maybe some new taxes? Any other suggestions?
