nationwide and not just in London but the whole business of the new
licencing laws seems to be ill conceived but then most of what
nu-Labour does seems to finish up as f**k-up, just look at child tax
credits.


Perhaps it's more the case that they're withdrawing what was imposed as a
temporary measure?


Income tax was once a temorary measure...
