Regardless of where they tax it's still us that's going to pay in one way shape or form.

 

Taxing the firm's sounds nicer, but in reality it's still going to be us that pay.

 

I'm sure all these people with smart meters might wake up one morning to find they've been reconfigured to pay as you go.

Were we not told by the remainers that any talk of the EU making governmental decisions for member states was paranoid nonsense.

 

That being the case, how can the EU actually impose a tax on anybody or anything?

Having they're accounts signed off would actually be a 1st.

 

It's almost as stupid as them trying to set the price of Russian gas. Erm, remind me again who has the gas and wants the gas.

 

But Ursula isn't exactly known for her acumen, wasn't it her that left the German army somewhat underfunded and lacking in equipment?
