Britain: The New Germany

A quote from the leader of The Business, 15 January 2006
It’s official: Great Britain is no longer a low-tax economy. For the first time in recent history, Germans will pay less tax than the British this year, signalling the end of an era and Britain’s 15-year dalliance with economic liberalism. It is a hugely significant milestone in Britain’s renewed economic decline but one which predictably has gone completely unnoticed by Westminster and the economically-illiterate media that covers it.
