In fact the reduced rate has been in effect for some time so in banning it the tax will be raised, on the orders of the EU. VAT on home insulation is now 5%. It will rise to 20%.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-4998867105420575952015-06-05T16:42:45.398+01:002015-06-05T16:42:45.398+01:00Can we go back 4-5 years.

Clue: it wasn't the EU! <br /><br />The ruling against the lower rate for some insulation is made even worse by having the high standard rate as the bench mark.SteveBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-88573178525253804302015-06-05T13:05:28.778+01:002015-06-05T13:05:28.778+01:00Fats Domineering Staines and Chubby Cheeks Checker...Fats Domineering Staines and Chubby Cheeks Checker Cole aka The Spinners Mk0 <br />would like to give you:<br /><br />We "work" for The Sun<br />For Stephen Abell and Dunn<br />But we struggle each day<br />To find those "stories" that pay<br /><br />We lost our way<br />With despicable pranks<br />Manufactured the news<br />With unroadworthy tanks <br /><br />Our stories have never tried<br />To be even handed and fair <br />But now we're behind the blues <br />Reds better take care and beware<br /><br />Soooooh<br /><br />We twist the facts<br />To confuse our readers<br />We spin gossip<br />Or make it up ourselves<br /><br />Do you remember when<br />We were really something<br />Now as Murdoch's sycophants<br />We are just plain pants <br /><br />Round, and round and round and up and down we go again!<br />That wine and beer makes our heads go around and spin again<br /><br />So let's spin again,<br />Obfuscate for Rupert,<br />Come on, let's spin again,<br />Spinning time is here!robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-3250194839313532492015-06-05T12:21:05.370+01:002015-06-05T12:21:05.370+01:00It would seem that the unravelling of some of the ...It would seem that the unravelling of some of the 'out' brigades economy with the truth is being reflected in the growing support for staying in. A recent poll (YouGov?) showed over 45% in favour of staying in, against 36% for opting out. <br /><br />There may be an honest argument for leaving the EU but while the supporters of opting out include Guido Fawkes et al, their muddying of the 'facts' will work against it. Their rationale for mistelling seems to be 'if we say it loud enough and long enough, people will start to believe us'Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13553393539547452019noreply@blogger.com
