Couples share the cost of accommodation, energy, insurance, food, just about everything apart from clothing. Single people pay more for almost everything, from car insurance to milk, from holidays to council tax.
And now we are being taxed more highly for being single.
This is appalling.

I completely agree. I am not single but we are not married and do wish to be coerced into doing so for tax breaks. A friend of mine asked us why we were not married and we said we had no interest in it as an outdated institution, he said but you get tax breaks, I asked him if thats why he married his wife, he suddenly went very quiet under her icy glare, I reckon he slept on the sofa that night!

It's in the country's interest for people to live as couples, it's good for your mental health and reduces your health care/personal care requirements as you get older. Also reduces the housing requirement, congestion, energy consumption. Many of the valid points you make are a benefit to the country as a whole.Steve Maskery":2w36wt8b said:Am I the only one who thinks that this is very very bad?
