So much rubbish spouted here. They really don’t do themselves any favours.

If anyone has been following the LVA's campaign properly you will see that the majority of the suggestions we are fielding are to support our whole local economy and people.
I am proud of what we are trying to achieve.
Like adding an additional tax allowance and NI allowance for people taking secondary employment.
Getting people into 2nd jobs and allowing them to keep most of the money will resolve two major issues on the Island.
Or a separate rate on Energy consumption for heavy users that still don't reach industrial levels of usage. Handy for all businesses.
Or Increasing tax allowances and NI thresholds so people earning less than LIVING wage aren't top rate tax payers. Money in people's pockets.
Or making freight and travel to the Island more affordable.
The government have stated all help must be "Sustainable, Fair and Affordable."
I totally agree, and I suggest that our government should live by the same rules.
But no the Government wage bill is rising by £71million this year alone. £550million goes to paying their staff. £6.5k from each of us man, woman or child.
Let that sink in, how Sustainable, Fair and Affordable is that? When the rest of us low, medium earners and small businesses have to pay for it?”
