It probably won't happen, but thats not the point, it's the fact they think its OK to talk about it as a possibility that pisses me off. If you've ever had to deal with the UK tax authorities, especially the ones that collect VAT, then you'll know one of their favourite phrases is that it never was YOUR money it was always theirs.
If they want a cost saving merge National Insurance and Income Tax and just collect it once, instead of TWICE.
There will never be a civil war in the UK, or if there is it'll be fought with spoons, because anything vaguely pointy or shooty is illegal here.
This is the country where you need a license for a telly, and it was illegal to sell milk in shops not that long ago.
