When Cameron was in opposition he said that he was going to make a bonfire of the quangos, he was going to save the country £2.6 billion. He was going to axe 262 of them. It emerged earlier that to axe them would cost £830 million double the amount first predicted. Yet he has created another 150 of them and taken on 4,500 bureaucrats since 2010., and you can bet that these are not £6.08 an hour salaries. Once again this man is all talk and no substance. Tax on Caravans tax on pasties a 3 pence increase on petrol in August. They were going to deal with the corruption at the top, people who avoid paying their fair share of income tax. We are all suffering austerity, he keeps bleating on, the only thing that is constant is his blaming of the previous government yet hes been in power two years now and its getting worse at the bottom but at the top its getting better and his cronies are getting richer and richer. The people like Lord Mandelson who will have to name his clients who pay him for his consultancy advice. Then we had the likes of Jimmy Carr and the footballers such as Wayne Rooney, Danny Wellbeck, Steve Gerrard, Joe Hart and past footballers such as Gary Lineker, and Terry Venables. Then there are the pop stares such as Gary Barlow. The list of names is endless. All have invested millions in tax havens or tax avoidance schemes, that result in avoiding paying millions of pounds to the Revenue and Customs. These schemes may not be illegal but are they morally correct. The sad part is that these people the so called the great and the good in our society rub shoulders with royalty but have no qualms at the first opportunity of accepting the Lordships and Knighthoods the OBE's and MBE's that are bestowed on them, yet if they paid there correct amount of revenue due it could knock two pence of the basic rate of income tax that would benefit everybody. No body is asking that the super rich should be screwed for more tax just for them to pay their correct tax. These are the people who are living high on the hog. A loaf of bread is the same price to them as to the poor. The really sad part is that as the Revenue and Customs shut these legal loopholes down the accountants of these people find other ways round them. Perhaps its about time that the Revenue and Customs employed these accountants because its quite obvious that they are a lot smarter than the accountants who now work for the Revenue and Customs.
