Speak clearly, Darling

I don’t know if anyone say Alistair Darling’s interview on the BBC this morning, it was an excellent demonstration in avoiding answering questions...trainee/wannabe politicians should take note.

When Bill Turnbull asked whether our income tax is going to be increased, three times he managed to waffle of for a good five minutes, without actually answering the direct question. Flirting around the subject but, as tax payer I still don't know if my taxes are going up or not?

He did well, he managed to run out of time so the interview was stopped...I might employ this technique next time my boyfriend asks me to cook dinner, “well, listen its not that I don’t want to cook dinner but now is not the time to start taking food out of the fridge. It will improve, dinner will be made but not by any specific technique and not taking food out...” you get the idea

But what I really want to know, ARE OUR TAXES GOING UP?
