Why are the British public so GUTTLESS?

Yes folks, thats the question, and before you all start critisising, just let me say I am a Brit also. What I am refering to is the constant bombarding of the UK public with all these damn Stealth TAXES by Godon Browns government. One of the biggest lies and cons was the recent flight tax which Gordon said would reduce carbon emmissions. Any person with any sense know quite well that five hundred planes taking off from heathrow without the tax produces exactly the same amount of carbon as fifty taking off with the tax applied. Last year it was decided to incorporate the garden size when working out your rates,. Two weeks ago we saw that a charge was to be added if you concrete or slab your garden , and now the latest a licence to buy a legal product like cigaretes. The number is endless, they are never satisfied, they just want blood out of a stone, and every time they tell us these taxes are for our benefit. The only time we have seen any BOTTLE is the POLL tax and the TANKER strike
