which is the worst country in the world to be living in?
the Democratic Republic of Congo or Uzbekistan?

UK tax changes means five million low-paid families will be worse off

(New Labour ensuring the gap between rich and poor in the UK continues to increase)

"The world owes George Bush a huge debt of gratitude..."
- Gordon Brown (UK Prime Minister)
