Aslong as fags/booze isnt affected i dont care  I think you'll find that the VAT increase will take care of that. |

2.5% on VAT certainly won't make me consider spending any differently. It's not as if I'm going out spending £000s on luxury goods each month. An extra 2.5p in the pound is next to fuck all for most people. That's only an extra couple of quid (if that) on the monthly shop.

that vat rise will cost me about 10 grand a year.
Only if you don't put your prices up. The age old economic price/demand dilemma looms. Surely you'll get relief on the entrepreneur CGT allowance ?  |

Exactly. Much like no-one went out and spunked loads of money beacuse of the previous 2.5% drop in VAT. |

The VAT rise will hit the club's revenue unless they (like Mexico Red) try to put up their prices.

How where they lying? the lib dems always said they were going to cut. They've got their way on some things like the £1000 rise the the tax threshold
because of everythind he said during the election in critism.only to sit there today like a fucking churchill nodding dog in agreement. he wanted power,now he has it. he is a cunt and those saying i dont get this,public sector get that.so what? do 2 wrongs make a right? should others have their rights and entitlements taken from them, because some in the private sector didn't have it in the first place? |

why would a 2.5% affect people spending in the club shop?
So a £49.99 top will now cost £51. harldy any difference really.
Club still make the same money.

Only if the club increase the prices by 2.5%. If they don't, they'll have an increase of 2.5% on the VAT bill with no extra revenue to cover it. Or they could just revert back to the days of my namesake and forget about the VAT all together  |

They're the minority in a coalition government, they're obviuisly not going to get their way all the time are they? They are achiving more of their goals (ie raising the tax threshold to £10k) by bumming the tories than they would have stood on the outside. I dont really understand your 2nd point. Do you think the governemnt should just carry on spending money it dosent have and hope for the best? |

Anything necessarily bad for students?
Like others have said, cuts were an inevitable necessity. It could have been worse too

I think having the Universities Minister describe you as "a burden on the taxpayer" isn't the best sign of positive things to come |

That's always been the way though hasn't it? Be fucked without students (or decent/clever/innovative ones at least) in the long run.
No-one likes us, we don't care.
