We should write this a a generic reply and get as many people as possible to reply / send it to George and their local Conservative association chairman. Maybe, then he and they conservative would realise how many voters they have alienated with the Tenant Tax…

8. Countless Economists! (http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/87652554-afa8-11e5-b955-1a1d298b6250.html#axzz44edfjDHq)
the article cites Stamp Duty, but quotes from economists refer to general recent tax proposals.

Latest madness from the Tories, trying to sneak Home Information Packs into the Housing Bill. You won’t believe some of it. For example, there is a proposal that if you have a house within a mile of a beach you can’t sell it to a family with children. What are they going to do if two adults buy it and then have a child? Forbid them from living in their own house? What if the woman becomes pregnant during purchase? Will the seller be prosecuted? It is going truly mental now.

We have to assume it’s an April Fool stunt – but after C24 the world is a changed place, so who knows? When you can have a tax change, which as Richard Dyson said, would suit a lunatic dictator in a tin-pot regime, anything goes.

George Osbourne’s day have to be numbered?
I know my MP, Anne Milton (Julian Cleary look-a-like), is a total brown-noser but even she must realise she has no chance of keeping her seat if she keeps this utter bastard as Chancellor and no chance if she votes for him as leader of the party.
Add dead people and grieving relatives to the list of citizens who hate George Osborne because of what he has stolen from them. Add the new lot to us Landlords, tenants, teachers, doctors, disabled people, bankers, party members and the cabinet, teachers and students, anyone who opted out of SERPS anyone who use to get child benefit, anyone on tax credits anyone who had housing benefit, pensioners, small businesses and old uncle Tom Cobley….
Still George Osborne survives? How is that??
