CIDER TAX another assault on Rural Life

(1/4) > >>

carbore:
I see that Darling has put at 10% above inflation hike on CIDER.

Once more we see London based politics affecting rural life. Yes strong cider may be the chosen tipple of homeless alchies, but Cider is part of rural life, part of Our Heritage, Apples are grown in the UK and traditional orchards are under threat. Cider is a traditional drink used to pay labourers and yet its being demonised by the Budget.

I suggest an environment tax on TAKE AWAY COFFEE in retaliation by us Rural folk (As it produces a lot of waste in cup)

MuddyMike:
Real country folk won't be at all bothered, the tax man doesn't get to see our cider!

I thought that the tax increase was only on the HIGH alcohol ciders and alco-pops, not the normal stuff. I'm sure that was what the BBC said.

eugene:
same hear thought it was all that cheap high strenght gut rot stuff not the real stuff

dxmedia:
And your not complaining about the removal of the 65 retirement age?
