budget priorities
i spotted this newspaper sign yesterday which related to the government's budget statement. you can see what kind of coutry modern britain is by the which things the papers think will concern us most. there were few mentions of the new VAT free status for church repairs ...
That's because any church with any sense will already be operating as a charity, so not paying any VAT for decades. No VAT for churches is a complete non-story, just like most of this budget!
