Rip-off Britain has seen not only excessive tax burdens being heaped upon us all, but also the wholesale extortion of customers by greedy, ruthless, banks; incompetent and corrupt utility companies, and dishonest and missleading local councils.

Everything from rubbish to services have been lied about.

Trust has been trampled on. Our bank accounts have been raided.

The more we pay the less service we get.

And while this has been going on our useless, culpable government has done nothing.

I find the inactivity of Whitehall astonishing, annoying and disgusting in no particular order.

We have been ripped-off and ill-served by wholesale corruption.

And we are all heartily sick to death od it!
