Brown wants even more of your money

[David Drew]

As if this tax will be spent on broadband - just like the road tax is spent on the roads!:(

Help keep Brown's sticky fingers out of your till!:(

Get signing everyone.

email I received today:-

Dear All,

If you disagree to the Governments 50p per month Phone Line Tax that is to be

become law this year please fill in the form on the link below. You have

until 27th February so act fast.



Even if you don't use your land line you will still be taxed, if you have

multiple lines going into your property you will be taxed 50p per week for

each line. The more people that complain the better chance of having it

scrapped.

Pass this on to all your contacts.

Best Regards,

This 'phone line' tax is to actually enable Labours pledge to give broadband internet to low income families.

This way they can continue to stay unemployed, but surf the net for their amusement, at our cost.

Don't it just make you feel all warm & fuzzy.

Just because they can't afford one, doesn't mean they won't actually 'find' one. If you know what I mean.
So this tax could actually increase the strange occurance of people not being able to afford laptops/computers, but managing to 'find' them instead.

They may even 'find' one that we used to have!

As much as I dislike brown and his goons, the grass isnt always greener on Cameron's side, not wanting to start a politcal argument but dont forget what the Conservatives did to this country including shutting the mines and killing our Industry.
Some of you may totaly disagree with me and your entitled to your own opinion but dont forget as much of a protest it is to not vote brown, despite what politions say, there all the same.

I dont vote, which will cause alot of you to tell me to shut the hell up lol, but I to was going to vote conserv like it seems alot of you to, but look at the wider picture, what will David do differently, dont vote as a protest vote who you think has it to atleast put this country on the right track Brown or not.

Please tell me I dont know what im talking about lol :D.

I thought that was a crappy thing to do, almost as bad as aboloshing the £10000 tax band.

For those who already have broadband, and are savvy enough, will just be another reason to go voip, or just use your mobile. Those who can't will be the ones that are hit.
