You are right about the GW thing but wrong about the income tax, it's

I would not dare use the term 'normal' (-:

I've no idea why I inserted "normal" - I hereby withdraw it and stand

Most low paid people will pay more tax, while highly paid people will pay less.
More tax will be paid in NI also.

So, 'tax rise' seems a fair comment.

Yes the overall tax burden will increase but you said "increase in
income tax" and for 'most' people, it will be (in 2008!) essentially
income tax neutral.

He's a crafty one, is that Scottish fella!
