TORY MUPPETRY on the Economy
Tory economic naif Iain Dale alleges that Gordon Brown has doubled my tax bill. Not true. I respond :
God you lots are muppets. For a start:
MORE PEOPLE ARE IN WORK hence more income tax.
Businesses are doing extremely well and hence CORPORATION TAX receipts are way up.
SALES TAX receipts are way up as we have more disposible income for "LUXURIES" like sanitary protection.
The land and housing markets are BOOMING and more are making great CAPITAL GAINS and buying expensive properties with STAMP DUTY on.
This aggregated figure with no analysis - not even allowing for Prague Tory's earnings point - which halves the so-called discrepancy - is
TORY MUPPETRY.
UPDATE: Iain Dale has visited and called me a muppet back. Comments.

Look,you muppet, if receipts have doubled why hasn't he cut the rates of any of these taxes? Oh sorry. Silly me. We all know the answer. Labour wants to control your money not allow you to spend it yourself. And of course they have spent it sooooo ver wisely, haven't they?
Actually Iain, apart from the war and giving money to corporations on behalf of some of our public services they/we have spent money rather well. A level of redistribution and huge investments in public services.
Your piece is FACTUALLY WRONG. My tax and your tax HAS NOT been DOUBLED. In so far as the tax take has doubled this is for various reasons. Your piece is plain wrong. Therefore you are a muppet!
The fact you are wrong explains why the Tories HAVE NOT been able to pursue this case.
Basically the Great British Public know it's a lie and by and large they approve of the expenditure.
Now if the tax rate had gone up from 40% to 80% making your story correct then you really would have a story and Labour would not have had three strong wins and being about to renew enough to hit a fourth and a fifth.
David Cameron should never be our PM and he probably won't be.
Today he has a CENTRE PARTING. For goodness sake. Does he think he is David Beckham?
Congratulations to your team on a rare win. I must say I think Russell Brand is right in today's Observer to say they are doomed.
"Basically the Great British Public know it's a lie and by and large they approve of the expenditure."
I imagine the 'Great British Public' would approve of expenditure that rids our streets of criminals. Like, er, more police for example. Or more prisons.
Wacky idea I know.
