I wont totally plagurise this - this is what I remember of a Daily Mail article yesterday plus a lot of my own stuff. Bear with it - its not all a tax moan!
You wake up and get out of bed, have breakfast and go out to your car where you need to breath into a pipe to check for drugs and alcohol. It lets your proceed, on your drive to work you stop and fill up with fuel, you pay for the fuel and the tax on that, the VAT on the fuel and the tax - all paid for with your earnings. . . taxed.
As you drive to work 15 sensors read your speed, car tax, mot and insurance as you go, you not even noticing the 3 hidden cameras around blind bends, but your car is limited in speed dependant of zone, but then its also monitered by GPS so the government know how much to tax you based on how far you go.
You get to work and work the first 2 hours and 15 mins of your 8 hour day just to pay the tax on your earnings. At lunch you get some money out of your savings account, where your interest has been taxed. On your lunch you decide to visit the labour party conference, Blair says something you disagree with so you let this be known. You are arrested and held without charge for a week under the terrorism act.
After being let out the police cant take you home as they need to drive all the little ASBO breachers back to mommy and all the daddies. So you walk, on the way you are mugged and beaten up. A passer by calls the police - who say they will be with you in 3-5 days - and an ambulance, which thankfully comes straight away. You ask the passer by to help you up, they refuse and run away, scared you might sue them if they touch you. The ambulance turns up but only to say that the A&E Department is now closed as its gone 20:00 and they leave you.
You struggle home to see your house in being burgled. You hide in the garden, fortunately you only just put up the washing line so you have some spare to hand. You hit the burgler as he runs out and quickly bind his hands. The police on the scene in moments to arrest you for using unreasonable force, assault and unlawful imprisonment. They let the burgler go, not before giving him an expensive solicitor to sue you for assault, as he couldnt possibly afford one as he is on work allowance for being unable to walk. . . apparently.
THANK GOD 308,000 British servicemen and women gave their lives to defend this country in WW2 and thank god countless thousands worldwide have given the ultimate sacrifice for us to be called 'Great' Britain
