Labour will keep in work their State employee clients by paying with money taken from the likes of me, who as an employer will as a consequence be unable to employ the people I need to develop my business, so causing further wealth destruction. <BR/><BR/>Employment by the State is always at the expense of employment by private business.<BR/><BR/>I've just read Toynbees column - What.

She was trying to use the statement as a basis for saying that the VAT cuts should have instead been more targeted and aimed at those who needed them - i.e the 10% not the 90%.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
