Back in March, we were told that the government weren't going to be taking VAT off fruit juice and smoothies when Alistair Darling came out outside to wave his briefcase.
Just in case we hadn't got the message, they also said 'No' to our petition to drop this silly tax (as 22,045 of you who signed up will already know from the rather standard email No. 10, Downing Street sent last week)
Don't worry though. Like Madonna, we're not ready to chuck in the towel just yet. We've drafted a stiff letter to Mr. Darling, copying in Mr. Brown, to let them know just what we think of their response.
As ever, we'll keep you posted.
The Government is stupid for not taking VAT off Innocent smoothies. They should be encouraging a healthy diet and loading crisps, chips, burgers etc with added VAT to stop the rise in obesity in the UK.
I'm with you guys. Keep at it.
