EXTRA TAX ON PCs towards NHS funding !!! What next ????

News just coming through that as there are so many computers owned by the public as well as business, the government are proposing to introduce a special computer tax to help towards extra funding for the NHS !!!

Gawd computers cost enough as it is !!They haven't stated how much extra they are thinking about, so I suppose that will be a lovely surprise for some time in the near future.

I hope this is an April fool's joke but I suspect it isn't, we will be taxed for breathing next!

Aye, the Labour introduced air-tax is a lot more up here in Yorkshire because the air quality is a lot purer.

Computers, though, have been getting cheaper over the years.
