    Clegg tax war on the middle class: Families could face 'lie detector tests' | Mail Online

    Private debt collection companies will be used to chase up £1billion of tax debt and HMRC will also get more staff to boost its tax collection

    Let me see if I have got this right. We got shot of Labour due to their massive spend on public sector workers. And Cleggie boy now wants to increase the number of people working in the public sector to be used for collecting more tax?

    I think Orac is having a good ponder on that one.

            Well try this one from the Daily Telegraph

            Motorists and holidaymakers face 'green tax' rise of £800

            30p on a litre of petrol?

            Is this a chucklesome press release from an obscure political party. No it's speech from a Government minister.

              I blame the voters.
              How did this happen? 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.
