VAT applies to imports, but Income tax does not. The UK strategy of high income tas and relatively low VAT (as in low relative to income tax, and VAT in other parts of Europe) has the wonderful benefit of making sure all our jobs are exported to places where income tax is irrelevant (China, Korea, etc). It also has the benefit that the rich can pay accountants to avoid paying tax (otherwise the accountants would not get paid), and making it cheaper to buy replacements rather than repair things that are faulty.

One of the major reasons I recommend Oracle to clients who need maximum uptime and downtime is just not an option is because of the world class support Oracle provide
If they really need world class support, then they ought to use db2 - its better than Oracle in every dimension, even if you include Larry Ellison's yacht.
If they just need something that works properly, then Postgresql will solve their problems.

Wehave had the feature in the UK for more than 10 years. However, at 50p (USD 0.75) a minute, it is most profoundly un-British.
At 5p a minute, the kids would love it.
The telcos are greedy rapacious scum, incapable of using spreadsheets or understanding that price elasticity is a non linear curve. If they had more than two braincells each, their shareholders would be setting fire to the board members as we speak.
Absolutely not. A libertarian is one who believes that market forces should prevail,. In the UK that is a Conservative of the Thatcherite kind.
A UK Liberal believes in small government, but that the government should direct things and protect the weak (you might become one yourself).
Traditionally, the labour movement "fights for the right to be exploited".
I believe the government should steer the ship of state, (a liberal view) not row it (the Labour view) or let if go wherever the storm blows it (the conservative view).
Or, depending on who you ask We'd like them, but the truth is, we wont get them, because the electoral boundaries are rigged

If you are worth more, start your own company and pay yourself more.
Otherwise: you are not worth it.

There is no way anyone in my family will ever knowingly buy a game that needs an internet connection at all, let alone always on.

You would probably get an outright majority.
No, its a polite way of saying "Minister for corruption".
You make it sound like compromise is a bad thing!
What we voted for is a situation where only policies that everyone agrees are good can get passed. That is a good idea
What we dont need is a situation where one loony can impose his mad ideas ("can you say mwa-ha-ha"?) on the whole country.
Dont lame me - I voted for the Monster Raving Loony Party.
