Tories plan to give money to businesses
Tory leader David Cameron plans if elected to cut business tax to help companies through the recession. The Tories would cut the amount companies pay in national insurance to help them take on staff who have been jobless for three months. They say the measure will reduce firms’ tax burden by £2.6bn and create 350,000 new jobs in the next year.
No it won’t. It will increase firms’ profits by… £2.6bn. That’s all.

Homophobia among the under-16s is alive and well in Skipton, North Yorkshire. My partner is often abused on his way to the train station to go to work. The children who call him ‘dirty queer’, ‘fucking poof’ and other verbal slurry are not always, as conventional wider-ranging prejudices would have us believe, low-intelligence, low-opportunity chavs who are themselves maligned as ’scum’ and ‘dole scroungers’ and the like. No. They are invariably white from middle-class, middle-income, perceived as nice families. My partner is powerless to defend himself because these innocents are protected by law from being smacked around the head, and he doesn’t even answer them back because he rightly fears one of the spotty little hormonally-unbalanced ferals might pull a knife on him.
