Bill's tribute to Gordon's 'Big Brother State' is due

The 2nd payment on account of my tax bill for the 08/09 financial year is due by 31 July, so I'm going up to the bank to pay it this morning.

I usually get it in at least a week early, but I've decided that the idiot who is inexplicably in charge of our lives in 10 Downing Street can wait until just about the final moment before he gets his hands on yet more of my money. Possibly I wouldn't feel quite so irritated if it wasn't absolutely clear that he has squandered huge amounts of public money (including my previous tax payments!) since he first got his moronic hands on the levers of our national finances in May 1997.

Call an election, Brown!
