The Sun says

Thus Fergus Shanahan, punk slasher:

We must force the banks to lend again. That’s the most crucial thing.

But we MUST save public money — and there is masses that could be saved to avoid putting up tax.

Let’s have a referendum on leaving the EU (saving: £65billion a year).

Abandon ID cards (£20billion), the NHS database (£12billion) and all the other databases (umpteen billions).

Slash

Freeze State recruitment. Axe Town Hall and NHS penpushers. Close all quangos. That’s billions more saved.

Slash council tax.

Halve spending on the Olympics.

Sell the BBC.

Throw every penny at helping small businesses — the engine room of our economy — by giving them a long VAT holiday and cutting their tax and national insurance rates.

The EU says VAT can’t fall below 15 per cent: Let’s cut it to 10 per cent and tell Brussels to go to hell.
