This is what I call a 'BusinessQuake'. This is just the start of the damage Allinson and Alf etc. are causing the island.

This needs sending to Allinson and Cannan. Maybe 2000 of us should forward it to them all at once?

Cut your cloth...not our throats.

You think Allinson and Cannan get any say? They spend all their time defending it, because they're told to.

The public statement, "The civil service is not expanding" being just one example.

They are the only ones with the ability and right to say 'No!"

See Jason wants to finish off retail with extra sales tax on top of VAT ! , only reason jersey introduced it is because they don’t have VAT to bring in money! Should add to inflation which he would then complain about

😂😂 But you're the one consistently saying that extra taxes will be needed to maintain health services and pensions etc.

You can't have it both ways.

He’ll be too busy to reply this morning. Apparently Toytown bank has a big delivery of chocolate money due this morning and it’s all hands to the pump.

Not on retail you moron, see your puppet Kev aka Cueey us supporting you as usual 

The health tax is coming next year instead of the 2% increase in income tax but of course you ignore facts in your fantasy world.

The fact is that whatever area of the economy is taxed, it remains TAXATION.

It all serves to drive up inflation (presently). It matters not whether it's called a health tax or a retail tax; everybody will be obliged to pay it.

By now, even you should be able to see this, and that Govt is trying to tax its way out of an unclosable and growing deficit whilst having no intention of taking the knife to its own upper echelons which are the real source of the problems.

Raising personal taxation generally reduces inflation (not that I'm for it!)

The original post was to point out the idiocy of Jason’s question but as usual you tuned it into a personal attack.

It is possible to want extra taxes for the NHS, without supporting a tax that will hit the poorest sections of society disproportionately hard, whilst adding a new layer of beaurocracy, and making local businesses less competitive compared to on-line.

oops added an unnecessary layer of complexity to the sentence myself
