Brown, you were a rotter!

The boy Milipede is promising to deconstruct the political course set by the unloved G. Broon (and also his current rival, the Balls monster). Back will come the 10% tax rate, which Broon & Balls abolished, and the boy Milipede will pay for it with a Mansion Stealth Tax. Just a few small problems, though. He’ll need to raise about £7 Billion to make any sort of difference to the clients for his largesse, and that will mean a Mansion Tax rate of about 6.4% per year, which will be highly popular with Labour millionaires like T. Blair and G. Broon, to name but two. Not to mention the Billions which will have to be spent on assessing the worth of properties to find out who has to pay the new stealth tax. Which is something the boy Milipede seems to have left out of his sums.
