I would advise everyone to err on the side of caution when considering the plight of the jobles. The numbers are rising fast, loads of redundancies in the pipeline. Now we have a Tory led government jobs are likely to get harder to find as the jobless figures rise, inflation and interest rates will increase as will the tax burden, except for the well healed of course!
Just a point of interest as the Tories love to claim to be the party of low taxation here is the history of VAT
Introduced by Ted Heath (Tory) in 1973 at 10% (replaced purchase tax of around 6% depending on item classification)
Decreased by Harold Wilson (Labour) in 1974 to 8%
Increased by Maggie Thatcher (Tory) in 1980 to 15%
Increased by John Major (Tory) in 1994 to 17.5%
Increased By Cameraon (Tory) in 2011 to 20%
Come back Harold!
