    Stamp Duty going up to 7%

    For houses over £2m, i.e. the only type of houses I buy anyway.

        Just like the new road tolls. Fine on it's own, but it's not like we've already payed with petrol duty, vehicle tax, council tax...etc

        Just another excuse for another fecking tax.
        If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.

                I would like car taxes to go up until the roads become empty enough to drive on.

                  Does this mean that house prices will be capped at £2m and the cost of second-hand fridges is to go stratospheric?

                    Now you're talking, Brillo!

                    We could even have our own special lanes that only us elite can drive on and the proles can have the crappy ones. We could change our countries name from UK to UKSSR and ... oh, I see where this is going...!
