I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

My daughter's and husbands are all In, two have just come back from Germany.

What we have seen in France, Spain, Germany, Cyprus and Madeira is bbc better maintained infrastructure and cheaper goods in shops. Goods in bbc shops are frequently cheaper.

You might say the our £350m/week, or £240m or £190m, would make a difference, but would the Chancellor improve UK to the standard we see in Europe?

25% of the VAT we pay is controlled by the Chancellor as is vehicle fuel, car duty, alcohol taxes, tobacco and no doubt others. Of course, while he could abolish all these DISCRETIONARY taxes he would need to make a corresponding increase in direct taxation.

IMHO we are being manipulated to believe the EU is responsible for many of our problems when it is really our own Government.
