Brexit and the waning days of the United Kingdom

[Sheilbh]

By the by reporting in the Guardian that the government think the politics is too hard (although this government's approach to politics is reminiscent of Ned Flanders' beatnik parents: "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas") and one option to replace raising the rate of income tax is lowering the thresholds for income tax levels. Which I think shows an astonishingly contemptuous view of the intelligence of the public if they think they'll be able to get away with saying they've not broken a manifesto promise not to raise income tax while doing that.

I'm not saying people are right in expressing a desire to burn it all to the ground, but I sort of feel like that type of tricksy bullshit is the sort of thing the public loathe.

That would be a moronic policy given inflation and fiscal drag mean by rights they should be going up if anything.
I mean jeez. At least add a new band or something.
