Budget Time

It was disappointing to hear that the government has chosen not to cut a further penny off our beer duty. This, together with a proposed increase in both sugar tax and the cost of labour; will surely see a rise in costs at the hand pump this year. Once again; the government has put the needs of businesses first rather than the common working man; forcing us to work harder and harder to make our money go further. There is always talk of building and improving; but never preserving our past heritage. There has been no investment to protect the rights of the workers; instead we are forced to be responsible for our own welfare rather than rely on government assistance. And yet; when you look at crime statistics; the government is hopelessly behind the times of enforcing its own laws. It’s often a lot faster for the media to report on live events than the government have time to enforce these problems.
