don't worry folks ... it is only being talked about at the moment ....in other words within a year or so , it will happen  !!! 

Vat is also being talked about going up to at least 20% but I have seen mention of 22% + !!!
oh and don't forget the hike that is set to happen on income tax too....or the extra tax being talked about on fuel !!! not to mention on tobacco and booze .

well someone has to pay for the MP's pay rise don't they !!!

cheers
