To much public spending leads to a weaker pound so the sum total is we're being taxed more, then the currency is being deflated meaning the money that we have left at the end of the week in fact has less buying power. It's a double blow.

What have labour done for the working class other than tax them more? Please tell me.
What Thatcher did was simply try and aid big business by attacking the rights of workers and helping her rich mates out in various ways. I'd take the BNP over that Robber Baron nightmare again.
