    “Everything goes up except the working mans wages . Which means yet another wage cut . Poorer and poorer day by day . Especialy where food and fuel increases are concerned . If this country was warmer I would live in a tent in a field and tell them to get stuffed with there ever increasing and hundreds of different taxes that used to be part of one rate ... but now due to "savings" are separated and charged individualy - with all the individual rises that come with it .
    All I know is ... 10 years ago I could go out 2 or three nights a week and have a few beers after working my socks off,and even have a cheap restaurant meal or a takeaway . Now I am lucky to go out once a month and have a few beers and doing more hours to be able to do that !. I think its time to let the bailifs in and take what I have got and start from scratch . Got nothing to lose anymore . Screwed dry .”

    “Well last Wednesday the PM said no to a council tax rise this year. But it goes up anyway. What is the point. vote UKIP and get it cut back.”
