The Tories are clamping down on struggling small businesses and the self-employed …
Scrap plans forcing self employed & small business to do 4 tax returns yearly
… while letting big corporations off the hook for billions …
Tax fraud costs staggering £16 BILLION a year – enough to halt welfare cuts
The Tories are not the party of business as they like to claim. They’re the party of big corporate business. Many of whom like to donate to Tory Party coffers.
Purely coincidental of course …
Pride's Purge 
I’d swear the Conservatives are trying to keep everyone on the breadline with the sole exception of their “rolling in the trough together” mates.

Yet another example of Tory greed at the expense of those people made redundant who have ploughed everything they have left into a small business in order to keep body and soul together

Reblogged this on Beastrabban’s Weblog and commented:
So many Brits were taken in by Thatcher’s claim to be working class, because she supposedly came from a small business background. In reality she despised the working class as untrustworthy and treacherous. And clearly, despite all her rhetoric of standing up for the ‘s-s-small businessman’, in the stuttered syllables of Arkwright, the Tories despise them too. It’s been a national scandal since Major’s time that big business has made it’s money by delaying payment to their smaller contractors. The Tories were asked to do something about this too, but refused. Why? Because they are the party of the big contractors. One Tory MP said that by delaying payments to his suppliers was the way he built his business up.
The Tories and big business are parasites on society and on the economy. I wonder how long the economic sickness they spread will last before it becomes chronic and obviously disastrous.

These concerns are well founded, but IMHO this is a new chapter in oppression rooted in the Blairite years. ‘Working class’ has little meaning in a society where most people work, and most jobs have been downgraded in both pay and conditions. Successive chancellors since Brown have pursued GDP over our quality and way of life. Big business, multinationals and the ultra rich (the provenance of whose money is not infrequently based on corruption or criminality) are given the unfettered opportunity to rip us off. Those in the middle have seen this chancellor massively increase taxes with peace purchased by income tax sops to those underpaid by the multinationals and given with one hand, taken with the other
Behind it all is a civil service that believes the man in the street is stupid and can’t be allowed to determine his own destiny. They achieve their ends by making legislation unintelligibly complex and promoting ministers to quite frankly mislead and lie.
Overcoming this descent into Orwellian Armageddon requires education and publicity and for the general public to realise it isn’t a fight between left and right but between the machine of government and its friends on one side, and the general public on the other
