You have to be kidding .... its you that have made the totally untruthful claim about what the report states.
I wrote that there would be increased unemployment and reduced government revenue - I was 100% supported in that by the trade submission.

"So you keep saying, but constant repetition of your back of a cigarette packet figures does not mean that they are borne out by the evidence."
The report supports its claim on lowered revenue with evidence.
You wrote:-
"If you care to look at the figures which have been submitted to the Government by trade bodies you will see that they concede that there will, most likely, be an increase in tax revenue."
That is totally untrue the report states the exact opposite - it claims the most likely result is a drop in revenue ..... you have to be reading the Dandy!
"You have finally got there! Good. I knew you could do it."
How arrogant can you get? You knew I could o it? Do what support my arguments and show your claims to be untruthful?
"As you will see the figures are offering a reasoned argument and raises the possible results of derogation; they are not constantly insisting that there will be a loss to the Exchequer. It may happen, but it is by no means certain. Massive change could happen, but it is by no means certain (and, in my view, unlikely) "
The figures are supporting what I have been claiming, no more, no less. You are acting like a politician trying to escape from having been caught out with false claims!!!
"Above all it is important that, if people are going to write to their MP's, that they ensure that their arguments are consistent with the submission made on their behalf by the trade. Contradictory arguments and, in particular, figures, only serve to undermine everyone’s efforts."
True - that is what I have done but you on this thread have done the opposite and claimed that the figures concede an increase in revenue when they actually show the opposite.
"You may not like what I say, but I am trying to help you in your campaign. I do not believe that you have been handling it in the best way to achieve the results which you are after. "
You cheeky blighter - do not try and be the balancing view, all calm and right - you have made a claim about the trade submission that is totally wrong and then have the nerve to lecture me who had it right!!!!!! Wow - are you joining a political party soon - you would make a good MP.
You should have the decency to admit that you had not researched the subject and on this thread you made a totally false claim .... they are the facts!
