MILLIONS TO GET TAX CUT
Edited on Wed Sep-07-11 06:48 PM by dipsydoodle
Officials are looking into an emergency move to help boost Britain’s stagnating economy, Whitehall sources indicated last night.

The most likely option under discussion is to dramatically bring forward a proposed increase in the income tax threshold to £10,000.

One Downing Street aide said: “The time scale for raising the threshold has never been set in stone. There is a serious case for accelerating it to help economic growth.”

The move would give a tax boost to about 25 million people and spare a further two million low earners from paying income tax at all.

I assume the figure of 25 million includes those retired too ?

1. MILLIONS TO GET ANNOYED....
By the Diana Express's incessant use of caps lock.

And that is a large part of the reason why I increasingly dislike tabloids. Do we really need some overpaid knob's views rammed straight down our throats incessantly (and usually without any attempt to grasp the facts)?

2. That started my day with a singularly unpleasant mental image, TiB.....
As I get older, I'm increasingly careful about what gets rammed down my throat.

Accidental asphyxiation is an ever-present threat ....

AND BY NOT BUYING THEM I SAVE £££££££s

GEDDIT??????

3. I do apologize most sincerly
It's not like me to overlook a sexual reference.
