I wouldn't bet on it Steed, rumour has it that he plans to double road tax for big cars from £210 to £400. I think he will also go for petrol again as well. Tax allowances will not rise as fast as salaries either thus bringing more people into the higher tax band and more people paying tax at lower end of the scale.

I think that Green Taxes are the ones to watch out for.

After they win the general election, it's an old trick. But well maybe.

Smash and Grab Gordon Brown robs the bank of your money.

Brown's £400m smash and grab on dormant bank accounts


More than £400 million in so-called dormant bank accounts is to be raided by the Government to fund charities, youth clubs, sports and community centres. Money in the accounts, which has been left untouched for at least 15 years, is to be grabbed by an independent body set up by the Treasury.

All together now. He robs from the middle class Mr Brown, Mr Brown, Mr Brown. He wants your money to the very last penny Mr Brown, Mr Brown, Mr Brown..........

Its interesting that you would bring up Al Gore, because last week he was on the front page of the conservative party website-http://www.conservatives.com/tile.do...&obj_id=135599

Just goes to show that US and UK politics don't line up all that precisely with each other, with Blair being Bush's best buddy and Al Gore singing the praises of David Cameron.

Another case of do as I say, not as I do.

I suppose it's OK if you cross your fingers when you don't really mean it anyway.

Another inconvenient truth.
