Copy of email to The Manila Times in response to this
Hi Marlen,
I
was very dissapointed with your caricature of the state of affairs in
the UK. FYI Cameron has not started any austerity measures of any great
size. It is all smoke and mirrors, unfortuneately the previous
incumbent at number ten spent all our money, there is none left for any
Keynesian stimulus. However, the present UK government is spending
more money (that it doesn't have) than the previous Brown/Blair
debarkle.
If pres Aquino would like more tourists from
the UK he should petition D. Cameron to remove ADT (airport departure
tax) which add greatly to the cost of any air travel to the PH. While
he is at it he should reduce his own airport taxes which have already
caused airlines to reduce long haul flights to Manila, if my
information is correct.
If D. Cameron has caused a recession it is by his green
taxes especially on electricity and petrol (gasolene). Cameron's tax
increases and an ever increasing volume of red tape is stiffling and
extinguishing our businesses. His green taxes are pushing families and
pensioners into fuel poverty. Cameron talks the talk, but won't walk
the walk.
Sorry for the rant.
Kind Regards,
Me
