They do sometimes get it right tho like they did

Because of paying the loans we had during the war and the rebuilding

well rather the labour government ignoring the above and handing out
cash....

BULL****.

Did Maggie eat your hamster wodders?

Unlikely given that I think most of what she did
was the right thing to do. It was only really the
final poll tax that didnt make any real sense.

It made quite a lot of sense,

No it did not. A house with say 4 adults living
in it doesnt cost the govt more 4 times as
much to provide services to and to defend
etc than a house with just 1 adult in it.

except the bit that refused to recognise the need to take some account of
ability to pay.

And that is the other massive problem with it.

And the other is that it makes no sense for those
entirely on benefits to be paying it because its
just shovelling some of the amount they are
getting out the door, into their pockets and
then straight back to the same operation that
paid it in the first place. Mindlessly silly.
