VAT rise, IMO it is Media scary tactics

[DHTiling]

I think the media are using scare tactics when it comes to VAT rise..

My phone has rang at least twice a day ( quotes) since last monday on returning to work after xmas break.. it has gone mental..


So i think all this hype on the VAT issue is just the media scare tactics .. the same as when the recession started.

If it keeps like this then i am well happy.. so to the media i say http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/MSN_Emoticons/MSN-Emoticon-show-***-107.gif it is time they gave it a rest..

The public are spending ... well they are up here anyway...

i think you will find that Durham in general is an affluent area , and peep,s in other part,s of the country will have a different experience of the way it can pan-out IMO

spoken like a true Economist Ed that's how you get out of a recession, you spend your way out of it. carry on as normal, buy what you normally buy and everything will turn out fine. it always does.

The work is great but Media do need to stop banging on about the bloody VAT..

I think the media thinks that the VAT has been raised by 20% not just 2.5% to 20%

I rarely listen to the news now, I'm sick of all the negativity in this country, the work is steady, and people will still spend while they have money, and even if the economy comes crashing down, work will still get done however we choose to trade with each other, if you let all this rubbish worry you, you might as well jump off the nearest car park, because, there is nothing in life thrown at you that you can't handle if you're sound of mind, imho.
