I do not understand why the Labour Party would want to impose an additional penalty upon newly arrived people into the UK. If they are working and paying taxes and National Insurance contributions, why ask them to pay more? Surely they should be entitled to the provision of services by the state if they are already paying taxes to the state. Why does the government want to "double dip"? A related issue is the non domiciles. If they want to live in the UK why not go ahead and charge them for the potential lost revenue from capital gains tax and inheritance tax? I heard of a millionaire whose employee was complaining that they would leave the UK if they had to pay £30,000 - what kind of millionaire is that? If they want to enjoy the lifestyle here, why should they not contribute? No they are no longer being asked to pay. But real immigrants will be forced to pay extra. Is there no joined up thinking? It appears there is yet again, one rule for the rich and one rule for the poor.
