^ Our forefathers also ensured we have a right to freedom of speech, Bobbi. And that includes criticising the government of the day, irrespective of whether or not we used our right to vote.

On tv yesterday, Truss was asked if the cut in the 45% was put before the cabinet. She hesitated, then replied that no it hadn't and it was the decision of Kwarteng. She was then asked if the cut would still go ahead in face of all the criticism it had attracted. She gave a one-word answer - "Yes!"
The reason it is being dropped is because Truss and Kwarteng knew they would not get it through Parliament.

I was thinking last night (dangerous, I know) That I paid 40% Tax for the first 10yrs I worked. 50% in Scotland. And I wasn't a red bracered, Champagne swilling City spiv. Honestly, MrF.
I think the top rate was over 90% in those days. I had zero interest in politics then (better things to do/think about) and never really considered it my money in the first place.
I'd known nothing else, so it just seemed normal. It was a pleasant surprise when it went to 33%. Then 25%, then 20% in what seemed fairly short order.
Certainly not suggesting today's rate is too low. Just trying to convey to young? MrF (who I like) that Governments when given the opportunity will quite happily squeeze the pips out of the poor (sob) and hardworking who unlike the rich have no escape from them.

// I DO use my vote both on local and General Elections because not doing , you give up the right to criticise who’s been elected !!!//
Nobody needs to vote in order to criticise the elected. We are all tax payers. Lots of earnings go into the government coffers. We ALL have the right to criticise politicians, voter sor not.
