@neil I can understand ANYBODY being pissed off at an insta-20% hike on *anything* they pay. It sucks. Many people saw 20% and far more on stuff like energy and food not so long ago.
But that one specific cry I mentioned (which I saw many times) just really really pissed me off. And showed how those saying it just had no idea about the bigger picture.
As regards it being a correction. Maybe. But should there be VAT on uni fees, and if not why not? </devilsadvocate>
I’m seeing one particularly irksome, self-entitled bawl from some parents of kids at fee-paying schools at the prospect of paying vat :
“We don’t get a discount on the tax we pay even though our child isn’t using a state school place!”
Fuck you! I don’t have any kids at all! I pay tax, some of which pays for other people’s kids to go to school! And you know what? I’m not moaning about it. Because I’m not a dickhead, and because I recognise that an educated society is a better society for all.
