England: £7.20
Scotland: Phased out by 2011
Wales: No charge since 2007
Northern Ireland: £3 from January 2009, phased out by April 2010

So the English get taxed again whilst the rest of the country gets away with it.
No change there then.

And another thing. I was in a queue (again) waiting to pay my £14.40 tax for my pills to keep me alive and the woman in front of me was asked - Do you pay? To which the reply was - No I don't as I don't work and I'm just off to the Pub.
So I did some research and found out that less than 10% of peope actually pay.
Give me strength..........

Andrea - I don't actually mind paying Andrea. Its just the unfairness of the system and where you live that bugs me.
I might just give it all up, get myself a dog and let everyone else pay for me.

Even taking into account immigration growth and counting accuracy, I think it will be sometime yet before EWMs are a minority.

2005

White: 44,967,800 (89.90%)

Asian or British Asian: 2,674,900 (5.30%)

Black or Black British: 1,359,300 (2.69%)

Mixed: 791,400 (1.57%)

Chinese, incl. British Chinese: 347,000 (0.68%)

Other: 325,200 (0.64%)


Statistically i agree. in practice however...
