the Gorse Fox must be mad. GF has spent the last couple hourse aiding and abetting a bunch of crooks (known in the media as "politicians") in the theft of huge amounts of his own money.

Spit.

At least GF has some left. Now what can he do with it?

  • go for a ride in the car ...
    well yes, but about 80% of the cost of the fuel burnt is tax.
  • go shopping...
    well yes, but 17.5% of the price of goods is a tax
  • and things are expensive in the UK? ...
    well yes, the manufacturers have paid tax on their profits and National Insurance on their employees wages, the hauliers have paid tax on the vehicles used to move the products, and tax on the fuel, and all of this has to be factored into the price of the goods.... so he's paying more tax (through a third party).
  • ok the GF will sit and watch TV ....
    ooops, don't forget the license fee, a tax that pays for an over-bloated, biased, self-opinionated, brodacsting company to foist execrable programmes on the general public.
  • what then?
    No sense in comtemplating termination... don't forget death duties!


The Gorse Fox ponders a while. Wonders what percentage of annual income actually ends up in the hands of theiving politicians... wonders what portion of the National Debt he seems to be solely responsible for servicing... and decides to go and bang his head against a wall on the assumption is it less painful and less depressing.
