Guy90:
Under the Tories my pay went up by 0.01% per annum.
Under Labour my pay has gone up by on average 4% per annum.
The person/party who puts the most money in my pocket gets my vote.

Take a look at your council tax and compare it to 6 years ago.
Add up the rest of your taxation, see if your 4% really is 4%.
I would place a safe bet that it is not.
Plus inflation is rising, interest rates are now going up....A familiar picture is emerging.

Don't pay council tax so wouldn't know. It is of course a local goverment tax and not central goverment. I do know that I'm better off than i was and that's all I'm worried about.
I will say the one thing I am disappointed in is that Tony Blair has not done as much to push forward European intergration as I thought he would when he came to power. very dissapointing and an ommission that will probably cost us dear in the years to come.
att:
I am struggling with the fact of being better off and having more money.
This IS NOT me having a go or anything like.
I too am better off and have lot`s more money than ever before, but I am not any happier, in fact I am more dissapointed with life.
The fact is that society is just too greedy and uncaring than it used to be and that causes me concern. It is also more complicated and the Leaders of this country no longer lead by example, infact the examples they set are just plain wrong, they propogate greed, adultry and selfishness, that is not what society is about.
I would prefer a safe, kind, caring society and less money.
