every person in the uk deserves the right to employ an accountant,the same as the elite do.they should be able to claim prescription fees and transport costs clothing on an individual basis [example-i personally know a man who has to have his work footwear made,£600 a pair.]keep the paye for all people,and by all i mean all people.if you are going to charge the normal people every week/month income tax ,then surely its only fair to do it to everyone,a good example are couriers, they pay no tax at source ,and the foreign courier just disappears at the end of the year,this is a two tier country and its high time it stopped

50% tax and give it to the poor ,to many people earning large amounts of money they do not need,many even have the cheek to avoid paying tax.
We have millions on low wages others with no work and homes without even clean drinking water ,Boris should eat his words instead of sticking up for his Greedy friends
Never mind the bloody super rich...wot about the poor guys and gays in the UK ...Boris you buffon. Cut VAT to 15pc...abolish International Aid, close borders, deport paractic immigrants and close down quangos... with that Osborne you've got quite a few billions to help in your incompetent management of this economy.

Whilst the unemplyoed, working families and our pensioners freeze without adequate heating on this winter he wants to keep looking out for his 'pink gin' drinking Carlton club mates.
