Dear Chancellor

You are the chancellor in name only, as long as Mr Brown is Prime Minister.
No matter what Labour MP’s say your party will lose the next General Election if Brown is still your leader.
The voters will never forgive a man who has kicked the Pensioners and low wage earners in the teeth, no matter what he does to appease them from now on.
So why don’t your gutless labour MP’s get rid of the unelected Brown as leader before it is too late.

We still haven’t forgiven New Labour MP’s for allowing Blair to take us to war with Iraq.
So something has got to be done soon before the other sleasy lot takes over.

Dear Chancellor,

We like life to be simple and for the government to focus on doing good and making it easier for us.

We don’t like confusion or being lied to and having 13 bands for car tax is ridiculous!

Thanks for listening.

Dear Alistair,

Wipe the muck from your eyes and take a look around you.

Look at the energy companies making huge profits while thousands live in fuel poverty.

Look at the banks making exorbitant gains while passing on little in the way of breaks to their customers.

Look at your own cabinet, a shifty rabble with little more that a single brain cell between them.

Now DO SOMETHING!!!

Please.

Regards,

Dan Drage

Dear Alistair

Scrap all the vote winning, political state benefits that few people understand and, as a consequence, don’t claim.

Sack the overpaid administrators of these complicated benefits and apply the savings from their salaries and inflation proofed pensions costs to the basic state pension.

Increase the rate of personal allowance to £10,000 for all. 20% tax on the next £50,000 and 40% on the rest.

The labour party has taken the tax from three years of self-employed, taken our pensions and when they took over had virtually a clear balance of payments. Blair & Brown went to the first Keyota agreement meeting and told OPEC countries to reduce output because people would use less fuel and help the green issues, Look what it has done to world fuel prices and food. We were told that Bio Fuels were the way forward, we cannot grow enough to feed the world let alone run our cars on this new fuel. Prices of our food have rocketed because most of the deliveries are by road. Our Electricity and Gas prices have gone through the roof. The labour party have held wage rises down on a ficticious 2-2.5% which is probably nearer 12%. The sooner Darling, Brown and co move out the better for the UK electorate.

Dear Chancellor,
You personally cannot follow Brown - you cannot win - why did you take the job?!
You need to unstitch the complicated nonsense you have inherited.
Suggest some vote winner:
1 - raise basic tax threshold to take millions out of tax altogether and encourage workers not claimants
2 - abolish road tax and increase tax on fuel proportionatley - this will ensure that those who use it (pollute) actually pay!
Regards - Alan
