[QUOTE="DaveGrohl, post: 8158227, member: 3563"] It’s easy to be sceptical (and it’s my default position on all things tbh), it’ll barely be noticed by some people but it will ease the pain slightly for others, but only slightly. Govt won’t get a huge lot of credit in either camp. "It’s not enough". Or "what difference will it make?". What really pees me off about it is the tax-for-the-mathematically-challenged Windfall Tax on the energy companies. If windfall taxes are a good idea (and they‘re not) then why just impose them on energy companies? What about Pfizer/Moderna and the rest? Weapons manufacturers etc? Imposing the tax on energy companies will either reduce investment in renewables (which is needed to ensure lower bills ultimately) and/or reduce money paid into people’s pension funds. The average punter loses either way. Meanwhile the govt has seen a huge uplift in VAT receipts precisely because of the high energy prices. Have you heard [B]anyone[/B] mention this in the last 24 hours? [/QUOTE]
