And your definition of "fairness" is what?
If legislation makes you equal, you aren't.

As it is the vast majority can't work out how much something is either minus it's VAT content or plus VAT.
Anyway, it's a tiny bit on most things and frankly when it does change I bet you won't even notice on most purchases that you don't already know to be VATable."The Jaguar's going cheap"

Labour need to urgently bring forward their leadership election so that they can get on with the job of being an effective opposition, because right now the country's being rogered from behind.Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u

Surely, if your work contract might not get extended you should start worrying about it sooner rather than later. Why dip into your savings if you can look for something as soon as possible?

Wow, I wouldn't have thought to actually look for a job. Jobs around here are difficult to find at the best of times and the public sector are the biggest employers and if public sector jobs go in great numbers then the region is screwed.
Rule 1 of the forum, always accuse anyone who disagrees with you of bias.I would say that though.
