Lib Dems want to tax rich bears?

BBC NEWS Politics Lib Dems abandon high tax policy

He has lost the plot! It must be something to do with Charles Kennedy and the Lib Dems being ignored for the past six months by a media much more interested in the rejuvenation of the Conservatives.

Charles Kennedy now seems to want to argue that whilst the Lib Dems are not going to change their tax policies from the last election (higher taxes) he now wants the public to understand them as fairer taxes. He then completely lost me with a reference to Goldilocks and bears eating porridge as some metaphore for Lib Dem tax policy.

He seems to think that current taxes are not high and that it merely needs richer people to pay more so that poorer people can pay less. Surely that is just left wing redistribution?

Me thinks Charlie should pop home and get himself in front of the TV with a bottle of whiskey and try and dream of some more bizarre activities involving bears!!
