Its a shambles. VAT should be simplified

Personally

0% - Unprocessed food
10% - all processed / cooked foods where ever it is sold. This will increase the VAT take from Cheap processed food (and so possibly encourage people to cook) while giving the economy a boost by making restaurants / Pubs etc slightly cheaper
20% (or prevailing rate) on everything else

Get rid of the exemptions on all other things – and yes that inc kids clothes and books

That's what I thought. You wouldn't believe the noise down here. You'd think they'd blown up the Tamar bridge and been granted their own parliament!

Alas I fear that comes more under the 'one can hallucinate...' category.

Well yes, I actually started wondering if in a Greece-style situation they'd even have the balls to collect :?
