The overnmen are trying to cut the deficit by bleeding the poor dry, crippling those most in need and making them out to be criminals rather than tackling big business tax dodgers.
If anyone has been watching The Revolution Will be Televised on BBC3 (available on IPlayer), you will be aware of the fact that certain companies are making hundreds of millions in the UK but avoid taxes by putting ter offices in other countries, such as Switzerland etc.
These companies include Apple - a company that pays pennies to havetheir products made in China and charges hundreds of pounds in the UK (and elsewhere) to custom. Their profits are astrnomical!
I was surpised to learn that Boots the Chemist was also in his group of cmpanies that leech from the British public and do not give back. I have therefore stopped buying fom Boots and will not buy anoher apple product until tis is rectified.
These companies, and many others, should be charged with tax avoidance and billed. The figure given in the above show for both compnies was smethng in the region of £100,000,000. That wouldo quite a way to helpin bringhe economy in the UK back into balance.
On another note, I have written 3 books. 2 are part of a series set in Scoltand about the Sidhe, fairy folk. Available on kindle and in paperback:
The Island of the Mist is book 2
The Stone in the Sword is book 1
The 3rd book is an adult, sexy witchy werewolf/vampire story set in New York and featuring a strong female lead character, again available in kindle and paperback formats:
The Wolf, the Witch and the Coffin
