. . .my boss and a complete rant about this on Wednesday, as he got 3 letters from HMRC about the 2.5% reduction in VAT.
He said "What do I charge VAT at? 15%! What do I claim back? 15%! So it makes no fucking difference to me if VAT was 200%". Then he barked on about how we are skint as a country, and the government should have let capitalism sort itself out.
Also, what I didn't know, the country has sold all its cold, so we have nothing 
You are very late my friend 
The bank of england owns the majority of the gold, and unlike some people think the bank of england is NOT owned by england, or the uk government. It is completely independant etc etc.

TBH it was very predictable, anyone who is good with figures and understands people's spending behaviour knew this would happen, and it will happen again within the next 20 years, unless the people in power reduce trading with other countries and lower prices of everything in which other nations trade in. A lot of things are being shipped in as opposed to people going to their nearest shopping centre.
