” 10 years of hard work , dedication and belief from all our partners, staff, directors and shareholders. “

Flagging Up A Secret Way To Fund The EU
The EU does not raise a tax levy. Member countries contribute towards ‘ The Gravy Train’ budget (the UK sends over £6.8bn per annum.) The total funding is then used to shuffle papers and goods around the Union.

Ban Cheap Booze Solution To Wild Britain
Is there no limit to Government interference? The latest proposed social tax to hit the hard pressed minion living in the UK is the attack on ‘cheap’ booze.
OK, so in today’s Britain you already need to take out a mortgage to enjoy a few beers in the pub with your mates. My local is £3 a pint. Most of it already pouring into Government coffers through tax.
Many are staying at home, putting their feet up with a nice bottle of wine or a few cans of Stella from the Off Licence (both ours are closed by the way, not because there isn’t a need for it, but because the ‘Company’ wasn’t making enough profit.)

Human Experiments Deemed Humane
Naturally the RSPCA are happy bunnies as it emerges that a new testing method is available to spare lab animals further suffering.

The Wheel Clampers And Shunters Club Get A New Member
Using independent firms to do dirty work has been a trick of local councils and central government ever since bean counters have taken over the running of the state. It saves a packet in staff costs and people pay to get the contract. Sweet.
Remember the bad old days when you’d park up, wander into town and return to find your car clamped by a firm acting on behalf of the Council, demanding £1000 to release you? And a guy pointing to a sign hidden behind his van which just happened to be waiting for mugs like you. Gradually we have seen the back of a lot of these, though obviously some still remain.
