A Tax Too Far

Forget global warming.

I don't even care if fuel prices double again.

I can cope with the soul destroying credit crunch.

I can even forego a pair of shoes.

Actually, no, I can't.

But a tax on chocolate!!!

That's just cruel.

I may be gone a while - I feel a warlike effort to stock up on cocoa based essentials overcoming me.

A tax on chocolate? Isn't that a violation of the Geneva Convention? If not, it should be...

Or even the Geneva Confection!!! Sorry, that was bad! What's worse is that it's a Scottish GP suggesting it - the land that deep fries its Mars Bars - ironic huh?
