Remember THIS blog post about the dog tax. Well, news just in from Conservative HQ:
"Labour’s U-turn on a compulsory dog tax
Labour have dithered for years on this issue and then rushed out a policy consultation weeks before an election that was immediately seen as totally flawed. A dog tax on more than 5 million owners was proposed last week, and is now ruled out by Hilary Benn in a humiliating u-turn that just proves how tired and incompetent this Labour Government has become. We need a comprehensive approach to this problem with a focus on the minority of owners who use dangerous dogs as weapons, not the vast majority of responsible dog lovers".
Must be the fastest dog u-turn in history!

I totally agree with you. What plonkers Labour have made of themselves with this U turn on their proposed dog tax.
ReplyDeleteFirst they make themselves hugely unpopular with a money making scam to penalise us for having pets. Next, naturally, in typical Labour fashion, Labour try to spin their way out of this (dogs'?) mess of their own creation by claiming that they didn't really intend to introduce the tax anyway.
Yeah, yeah, pull the other one Gordon and zanulab, you've too much form for introducing stealth taxes of this nature for anyone to believe you now.
