food is zero rated for VAT so shouldnt be any different.

It might boost the ecomony until the new year - people buying stuff before the 20% VAT kicks in.

You pay VAT on a Subway if you have it toasted

Hot food is VAT payable

Looks like attempts are being made to try and bring the country back from ruin.

Im all for people who genuinely cant work due to ill health or disability to receive some financial support. But the system is easy to fiddle and people are quite clearly getting far too many benefits.

You can come here from Poland and claim benefits for your children who are still in Poland.....Hundreds of thousands if not millions of pounds every week being paid out to people who dont even live here! madness!

Big Screen LCD's, Sky TV, Beer, Cigarettes, Internet, Car etc are luxuries in my book that need to be earnt and paid for with wages. If people can have these items on benefits they are getting far too much.

I will have to stop eating my Steak & Cheese bagettes at Subway as they are toasted......

Rant over!
