They're even taxing football!

After the disastrous budget, in which George Osborne destroyed his own credibility (ok it wasn't all bad) comes another coalition calamity.

Through this years budget, they have;

• Cut taxes for the wealthiest, while increasing the pain for others.
• Sent us back into recession.
• Done nothing to promote growth.
• Failed to cut the deficit by as much as they promised.
• Done nothing to improve employment prospects for young people.

And they have had to row back on a number of tax hikes;

• Pasty Tax.
• Landfill Tax.
• Caravan Tax.
• Skip Tax.

Now we can force another to the famous five, the Football Tax.

The Government decided to increase the VAT paid by five a side teams, which will in reality raise little money. Even though it is a campaign by the Telegraph, you can read about the background here, and sign the petition here.

A recent study said we are the laziest in Europe, which is a shame in an Olympics year. Whilst I am not a big football fan, I am doing my bit with my famous diet. You can do your bit as well.
