I see there's a plan for income tax and national insurance to be merged. It's long overdue.Politicians tell us the income tax level is 20% or 40% or whatever when we all know it's much higher ‘cos of this extra tax quaintly called National Insurance, which is another 12% on top so really someone earning, say, £350 a week is actually paying 32% tax, not 20%. But why stop there? I mean we're also paying council tax so they should add that into the pot as well as it's not like we've got any choice about paying it. So if you're on £350 a week and you're paying £1,200 a year in council tax that's another £25 a week, which is like another 8% off your pay – so that means you're actually paying 40% tax when, all along, you've been thinking you've been paying 20% tax. And all these millionaires with their huge houses in London pay sod-all in council tax and these big multi-nationals manage to get all their income channelled through Luxembourg, meaning they pay peanuts in corporation tax and these politicians have all got second homes courtesy of the taxpayer – while you and I are being squeezed dry. No wonder everyone's fed up and voting Ukip … another Starbucks please mate…
