[gulliver1]

When Boris was on his Brexit Campaign trail .,,He said he would remove VAT from Household energy bills ,
After Brexit..... Now he has got Brexit done......Boris has refused to remove VAT from Household energy bills
....................................More lies again from the King of the Con Men...never trust what a Con tells you..

I am going to have to rest my eyes:
Boris on his Breast crumpling campaign....
I bet he would if he had thought about it !

[gulliver1]

Food and Fuel should be vat exempt.

[gulliver1]

15.41 What is a crumpling breast then P/P ???

[barry1010]

bob, if gulliver lives in Spain he was paying 21% VAT on electricity . In June 2021 it was cut to 10% and will continue at that rate until May 2022.
France is much more complicated with several taxes attache to residential electricity bills which total to around 30% of the bill

[roopower]

If Gulliver lives in Spain, why does he keep posting stuff about our politics, unless its to get people worked up. That certainly works!

[barry1010]

I don't know where he lives. I only know that he claims not to live in the UK

[gulliver1]

Why does the UK depend on Norway ,Russia,Belgium,Netherlands ,and France and even Ireland for its power. Not able to produce it,s own ?????

[gulliver1]

17.55, Or was it because Thatcher shut the coal mines down ????

[ynnafymmi]

@17.57.Remember gulliver1 it is Mrs Thatcher and Mr Johnson.Dont forget now.I will report your postings if you call them anything else.Thanks,ynnafymmi.

[bobbinwales]

Thanks Barry... that's why I asked.... I know ours in uk was low and we couldn't even consider reducing it.
Could my central heating and gas oven run off coal gulliver?
Coal? Not worried about climate change then gulliver? Shame francking was kicked into touch here

[THECORBYLOON]

[ynnafymmi]

Why the block letters,THECORBYLOON?My user name is ynaffymmi in the lower case.Duly reported.

[gulliver1]

I Suppose the problem could all stem back from the days when Thatcher Privatised all The Nationalised Businesses....Every thing went out of the UK.
