As of today petrol has gone up by 2p. By the end of the year the stamp duty on property will be dropped by 50,000 from 175,000. Vat will revert back to 17.5%. etc etc, expect interest rates to rocket to. (had tried to expain to my friend who thought it was great for her mortgage, that she will end up paying even more than ever as they will want their money back somehow. She wouldn't have it though)

News channels have been trying to get hold of someone to explain why when were are still in a recession these hikes are already coming in. As if people and businesses aren't struggling enough.
