Looks like the price of cigarettes is about to rocket.

[Arthur Little]

back to putting tobacco up, drinks , tobacco, flights, cars,it seems any pleasure we get in life is taxed, will there be a sex tax i wonder

, Steve ... here's a personal perspective on the state of OUR nation:

Raising more tax?
These are the facts

Taxing all the cars
Even Mars Bars

Taxing all the food
Simply is not good.

Taxing all the drink
How low CAN they sink?

Taxing all the fags
Next, t'will be the shgs

Taxing us when'er we fly
As they've done since days gone by.

Taxing sport and leisure
Soon, there'll be no pleasure

Hardest hit will be the poor
Of that, you may be very sure.

All mounts up to one BIG SCAM
But does our Government give a damn?
No, they're hell~bent on almost any
Chance - to seize our every penny!

Ohh, my ...!

Chance - to wring out every penny!

Ah ... now there,

Ah ... now there,

There should be a tax on rhymes and puns!

That would give you a large tax bill, Arthur.
