Yup - the great british sickness.

I can imagine government meetings running something like this:

"the public still have money in their pockets"

"what! we need another tax, quick"

"Yes, but not just ANY tax.. it must be sneaky, technically illegal, and
stealthy too"

"I know - for years and years the motorist has paid billions in road taxes
to fund the roads - let's charge them to use those roads!"

"what, the roads THEY paid for?"

"Yes!"

"Brilliant!"


And here's a great example of Labour government taxation:

If you import a radio - you pay a small import duty.
If you import an mp3 player - you pay a small import duty.

If however, you import a radio with an mp3 player built in - you pay the
import duty AND a "multimedia tax".  Bastards!

If the government was on fire, I wouldn't even pee on them.

Notice how the "Great" has disappeared and it's just "Britain" now?

*sigh*
