The 10p tax fiasco.....

Now I may not be brain of Britain but even I can see what the consequences of dropping the 10p tax band would be. Surely Brown and co must have realised what a c0ck up it would be and even if they didn't surely the civil service advisors would have warned them. So can anyone explain how such a monumental balls up actually got past the powers that be and should we be worried that clearly the people that run the show have sh1t for brains?

With such a basic mistake nobody in their right might would try to con so many the public. If you remember he made the statement about the 20% tax his final statement in his budget. If the truth were known it was probably a last minute decision before anyone could calculate the effects it would have. Impulsive is what I would call it!
