Hey, DB6, Keef is right - why so angry??!! (Or perhaps since English without swearing seems to be very difficult for you, I should say why the f**k are you so blo*dy angry about this statutory charge boll**ks?)
Not everyone SUFFERS it, even if they have to settle it initially at purchase.
When VAT Registered, there's a likelihood that you'll claim it back monthly or quarterly anyway.
You may not be VAT Registered, others are!
