The charity tax is only the beginning. The aim is to abolish Gift Aid, or else drastically to reduce the range of activities eligible for charitable status, if not both. Yet another attack on everything that mainstream Britain holds dear.
Like the legal redefinition of marriage to include same-sex couples (on which Labour is probably going to have a free vote), the cutting of incomes outside London and its environs, the deregulation of Sunday trading, the devastation of rural communities by letting foreign companies or even foreign states buy up our postal service or our roads, and Royal Mail privatisation’s severing of the monarchy’s direct link to every address in this Kingdom.
Yet another reason to vote in 2015 for the only party capable of defeating this Coalition. Yet another reason to ensure that there is a dedicated body of MPs to keep the Miliband Government in line with those values and priorities.
As for the church tax, why not extend the VAT exemption to secular buildings of comparable architectural or communitarian importance? I have never understood why that was not already the case. Ed Miliband, over to you.
