UK.gov won't drop 50p high speed broadband tax plans - yet

Here's your 50p tax right here!

I use Virgin media at home. The only reason that I even have a landline on may package is that for the £5 a month I pay for the phone service I get a £6 a month reduction in my total bill for having TV, Broadband and Phone, so overall I pay £1 less per month.

I don't even have the wiring for the phone in my house, or know what the number is.

If the government are going to put a 50p per month surcharge on the phone line, then my saving goes down to just 50p per month, so just to spite them, I will drop my phone package.

Bad government! No 50p for you! Instead it goes to Richard Branson who will spend it on his island retreat. Or space planes. Or balloons. Or whores.
