I just endured the 5 minutes of Jiliar spruiking her line. The fake "earnest, sympathetic" tone of voice was a bit difficult to take, (and so obviously carefully rehearsed), but the "it won't only not cost you anything, but you'll get more in your pocket than we take from you" seems to have hit the target with many journos, and, I suspect, with many of the so-called battlers.
I nearly choked when I saw the unwashed "students" celebrating the imposition of the tax, particularly the boban who siad it was like having his birthday, his 21st birthday and Christmas all in one. God help us all. People like that get to vote.
The devil, I feel, will be in the details, and just how quickly those details become apparent to the majority of voters will decide if she succeeds in selling - and inflicting - this crock to and on us all.
